Durbin Meets with FBI Director Wray

Press Release

Date: Aug. 8, 2023
Location: Springfield, IL

"Today's meeting with FBI Director Wray in Springfield was productive. As I've said before and reiterated to Director Wray today, I will only support the reauthorization of Section 702 if there are significant reforms addressing the warrantless surveillance of Americans. The FBI plays an integral part in our government's responsibility to keep Americans safe from a wide range of threats, including bad-faith foreign actors, drug trafficking, and violent crime. I also believe we can and must protect our security and the constitutional rights of the American people at the same time. I look forward to following up on these matters -- including at our annual FBI oversight hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee this fall."
