The Oversight Project has recommended that the Department of Justice formally charge former FBI Director Christopher Wray, according to an exclusive report from The Blaze.
The referral, which was sent to the Justice Department on Thursday, is looking to hold Wray accountable for his role “in the apparent cover-up but for his alleged false or misleading statements to Congress regarding the infamous FBI memo targeting traditional Catholics,” the Blaze said.
The recommendation comes 18 months after the House Judiciary Committee accused the FBI of "abusing its counterterrorism tools to target Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists" and "violating the religious liberties of millions of Catholic Americans."
The Oversight Project’s referral claims Wray gave false testimony because “it failed to reveal the scope of the memo’s production and dissemination, but also because it failed to reveal the existence of a second draft product on the same topic intended for external distribution to the whole FBI."
The Oversight Project is a center-right initiative that advocates for government transparency and exposing fraud and abuse within the federal government.
