He discussed the so-called Richmond memo, which labeled Catholics as potential domestic threats. Wray claimed this memo came from a single FBI field office. He said he was \u201caghast\u201d when he discovered it and promptly ordered its withdrawal.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"911\">Conflicting Evidence Emerges<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"1195\">However, the Oversight Project challenges Wray\u2019s version. Evidence shows that multiple FBI field offices created similar documents. Moreover, a broader draft memo circulated, contradicting Wray\u2019s claims. These findings suggest he may have provided a misleading account to lawmakers.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1237\">DOJ\u2019s Next Move and Growing Scrutiny<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1485\">So far, the DOJ has not publicly confirmed whether it will open a formal investigation. Meanwhile, this referral has intensified scrutiny of the FBI\u2019s actions. It also raises pressing questions about accountability at the bureau\u2019s highest levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOJ Launches Probe Into Former FBI Director Over Alleged False Testimony The Department of Justice (DOJ) has stepped in after accusations that former FBI Director Christopher Wray misled Congress.
