Trump, the Republican presidential nominee wrote on the social media platform Truth Social, "I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that 'it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,' essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with 'Joe,'."

This comes after FBI Director Wray testified on Trump's assassination bid before the House Judiciary Committee. During the proceeding, he was asked when he began to notice "cognitive decline" in Biden by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. To which Wray answered by saying that he didn't meet the President often "but what you're describing is not something that I've observed during my interactions."

"If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop 'sweet talking' Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI - Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago. Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!" Trump added.

On Trump assassination bid, Wray said that an FBI investigation is underway. According to the FBI director, the federal agency has been analysing Crooks' movements and social media activity but it could not find the motive behind the attack on Trumo.

“We do not know the motive. That is obviously one of the central questions in our investigation, and it's been very frustrating to us that a lot of the usual kind of low-hanging-fruit places that we would find that have not yielded significant clues about his motive,” Wray said.
