Overview
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray have faced bipartisan criticism for refusing to testify publicly at a Senate hearing on national security threats, breaking a 15-year tradition. Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Gary Peters expressed concerns that their decision deprives the public of vital information and undermines trust in government accountability. Both officials offered to provide classified briefings instead, a move that did not alleviate Senate frustrations. This refusal occurs amid several pressing national security issues and scrutiny of their handling of various crises.
