Christopher Wray’s comments could have serious implications for a long-awaited plan whose announcement seemed to mark the end of a hotly contested debate over the past decade.

Christopher A. Wray, the agency’s director, warned senators that several foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans since the Oct. 7 assault on Israel by Hamas.

Still, the bureau’s director noted that Donald J. Trump had made it unmistakably clear, even before appointing him, that he wanted the F.B.I. to stay where it was.

F.B.I. officials say more than half of Chinese spying efforts aimed at stealing technology occurs in Silicon Valley.

For all their complexity, the Trump-related prosecutions have not significantly constrained the ability of prosecutors to carry out their regular duties, officials have said.

The Oversight Committee chairman canceled a vote to begin contempt proceedings against the F.B.I. leader after he agreed to more widely distribute a document on a claim against President Biden.

F.B.I. officials briefed lawmakers on an unsubstantiated bribery allegation against Joe Biden when he was vice president, but did not let them leave a secure area with a document detailing it.

A renewed demand that an oversight panel be shown documents found at the homes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden came as the F.B.I. revealed new data about its use of the surveillance law.

Representative Jim Jordan, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, demanded documents for an investigation into whether the government mistreated parents scrutinized after threats against school officials.

The F.B.I. appeared to be blinded by a lack of imagination, a narrow focus on “lone wolf” offenders and a misguided belief that the threat from the far left was as great as that from the far right, new congressional documents show.
