EXCERPT:
WRAY: “So, Senator, certainly we tried to respond aggressively with our partners to the domestic violent extremism that we saw playing out in streets all across the country this summer. Most of that activity, a lot of that activity, I would say, fell in what we would categorize as anti-government, anti-authority, violent extremism. Some of it is anarchist violent extremism, some of it is militia violent extremism. Some of that might even be sovereign citizen, violent extremism, but we saw a huge uptick in violent extremism in that broad bucket over the course of last year, and so we’re trying to be aggressive with the tools that we have in terms of the charges we're bringing, we’re trying to, as we talked about, frankly, in connection with January 6th. Same thing for the summer, we’re trying to look at sources of funding, planning, coordination, trying to learn more about tradecraft and tactics, and things like that, so that we can be better prepared to prevent it and feed information to our state and local partners so they can be better prepared to prevent it.”
