TL;DR Summary

FBI Director Christopher Wray is set to face questions from GOP lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee regarding the agency's handling of investigations involving President Biden's son, Hunter, and former President Trump. Republicans argue that the FBI has been "weaponized" against political opponents. The hearing will also touch on issues such as the treatment of parents during COVID, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and the FBI's role in investigating Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. The House Judiciary Committee's inquiry is part of a broader investigation into Hunter Biden's legal issues by three House panels. GOP lawmakers have criticized the recent plea deal reached in Hunter Biden's case, calling it a "sweetheart deal." Additionally, some Republicans are pushing to defund certain FBI programs and costs, including a new headquarters, and are considering impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland.
