I want the American public to know, too, we've had problems at the FBI. We are going to hold ourselves internally accountable for those meeting out justice who have the privilege to serve and wear the gun and the badge or the uniform of the FBI out in the field.

Chris Wray was caught last year illegally using 702 collection methods against Americans 274,000 times. 274,000 times. It's not my number. It's in the report that they wrote. The FISA court wrote it.

And FISA did need reform. We exposed it, and we gave you a bunch of reforms during Russiagate, and it never got implemented. So because the budget of FISA was up this cycle, we demanded Congress fix it. And do you know what the majority in the House, where the Republicans did? They bent the knee. They re-offed it. Why? Why? I don't know. Ask them.

And then now you know about Chris Wray and all these other FISA abuses, but you trust the director of the FBI, this guy, Chris Wray, who went before you and said, no, no, don't worry.
