FBI Director Christopher Wray will address Congress to highlight the increasing apprehension among intelligence officials regarding the prospect of an ISIS assault on American territory, mirroring the recent tragedy at a concert venue in Russia.

He will emphasize the unprecedented level of threats facing public safety and national security, stressing the imperative to remain vigilant and resolute.

Wray will draw attention to the ongoing warnings from U.S. officials regarding potential Hamas-inspired attacks following recent events in the Middle East, alongside the escalating concern sparked by the ISIS-affiliated assault in Moscow, which resulted in numerous casualties.

Wray’s testimony will underscore the evolving nature of the threat landscape, with a shift towards the possibility of coordinated attacks within the homeland, akin to the one witnessed in Russia, The Hill reported.

He will caution against any reductions in the department’s budget, arguing that such cuts would undermine efforts to counteract these threats effectively.

Furthermore, Wray will highlight the collaborative efforts of FBI personnel alongside law enforcement agencies across the nation, emphasizing the critical role of technology, expertise, and training in safeguarding communities.
