The "Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation" hearing begins in the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, where FBI Director Christopher Wray is expected to testify before Congress and face tough questions from those who distrust the integrity of the bureau. The FBI has recently faced allegations of operating with political bias after the agency searched former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home for classified documents. Director Wray will appear before the House Judiciary for the first time since the GOP took control of the House and is expected to confront the alleged politicization of federal agencies and his lack of transparency regarding whistleblower allegations. Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker joins the Rundown to explain what the FBI needs to do to prove such biases don't exist and his belief that there must be greater separation between the FBI and the Justice Department.
At the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania this week, President Biden and other NATO members came to an agreement to allow Sweden to join the alliance, yet members concurred that adding Ukraine remains out of reach while the war with Russia persists. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticized the NATO members for this decision, panning the decision to delay Ukraine’s NATO membership without being given a concrete timeline, yet the members did agree Ukraine will join the alliance when the right conditions are met. On the Rundown, former Texas Senator and U.S. Ambassador to NATO during the Trump administration, Kay Bailey Hutchison, joins the podcast to explain what impact we could see on the world stage from the expansion of NATO and how the member nations walked a delicate line between supporting Ukraine and avoiding open war with Russia.
