Christopher Wray, President Trump’s FBI director nominee, said on Wednesday that it would be “wise” for an individual approached by a foreign government with election information to inform the FBI. Wray was reacting at his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer who claimed to have dirt on Hillary Clinton, and the circumstances surrounding that meeting. Wray added that the FBI should be informed of “any threat or effort to interfere with our election by any nation state.” Trump Jr. has shrugged off the meeting, calling it “a nothing.” He said he did not inform his father that the June 2016 meeting, which was also attended by Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, took place.
