"FBI Director Urges Increased Funding to Counter Cyber Threats and Organized Attacks"

FBI Director Christopher Wray warns of an "elevated threat" to U.S. public safety and national security, urging increased budget support from Congress to tackle these threats, particularly in light of potential terrorist attacks inspired by the Israel-Hamas conflict. Wray also advocates for the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), set to expire on April 19, while emphasizing the impact of budget cuts on FBI operations and its partnerships with state and local law enforcement agencies.
