Questions about the FBI’s preparations for the riot, and investigations into it, are expected to dominate Wray’s appearance Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Wray has kept a notably low profile since a violent mob of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol two months ago. The FBI is facing questions over how it handled intelligence in the days ahead of the riot, and whether warnings it had of potential violence reached the correct officials. The FBI has said the report, which it says was based on uncorroborated information, was shared through its joint terrorism task force. Wray is set to testify for the first time since the deadly Jan. 6 deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
