    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump repeatedly publicly criticized Wray before he left office in 2021, and he has blasted the FBI ever since, especially for its role in the 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago home for classified documents.

    In the wide-ranging interview, Wray also discussed an array of national security threats, including from terrorism, cyberattacks, and the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok.

    Wray reiterated comments he has made recently underscoring that the threat from terrorism since Oct. 7 is as high as it has been in some time, especially from lone actors or small groups radicalized at home by the war.

    Asked to describe the real world national security threat from TikTok, as Congress moves toward passing a bill requiring its Chinese owner to sell the platform, Wray was emphatic.

    Asked what he thinks is driving the threats, Wray said, “There’s a broad phenomenon right now of people across the spectrum across the country who, when they’re upset about something, have chosen to use violence as a way to manifest that.

    He added that he believes there is another factor fueling the threats: that some Americans don’t view an FBI investigation, a trial or a court case as fair or legitimate unless the result was “what they wanted.”
