The FBI Agents Association defended FBI Director Christopher Wray ahead of an explosive congressional memo that allegedly accuses the agency of bias among its top officials.

“The FBI Agents Association appreciates FBI Director Chris Wray standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the FBI as we work together to protect our country from criminal and national security threats,” the FBIAA said in a Thursday statement. “As Director Wray noted, FBI Special Agents have remained steadfast in their dedication to professionalism, and we remain focused on our important work to protect the country from terrorists and criminals — both domestic and international.”
