Take it to the bank that the FBI is protecting this country and the state and citizens of California.
We have seen historic reform.
You're not answering my question.
Oh, no, I'm not setting up a trap.
And I'm not giving it to you.
I am not afraid of you, sir.
Mr. Chairman.
You were rightly critical of the way that the previous FBI director used the FBI jet.
And you said you wanted to ground Chris Wray's private jet travel that he pays for with taxpayer dollars to hop around the country.
Let me ask you this, you know, on the weekend of, according to flight tracker data, on the weekend of March 7th, an FBI plane flew round trip from DC to Las Vegas, and you attended a UFC flight with Mel Gibson.
And I'll show you that.
Is that you?
And is that true?
All right.
Then on April 5th, you attended a hockey game in New York City.
You don't live there, right?
By the way, everyday FBI agents who are signed in Washington don't get to fly home on a private jet.
Okay.
On April 5th, well, we didn't make it mandatory that you go to UFC games with Mel Gibson.
You got to use some judgment here.
