FBI Director Christopher Wray confessed Thursday that he cut short his appearance at a Senate oversight hearing in August to take a break in the Adirondacks using the official FBI jet — confirming The Post’s initial scoop despite initially indicating it was a “business” obligation.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) tore into Wray at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing for his “indefensible” conduct and noted that Wray had implied to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) he had to leave as part of his official duties.
Wray’s hurried Aug. 4 departure — over Grassley’s protests — denied Republicans the chance to grill him over whistleblower allegations of a cover-up in the FBI’s investigation into first son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
Hawley noted that three days after Wray bolted from the hearing, The Post’s Miranda Devine reported “that the reason that the hearing had to be cut short is because you were flying on a Gulfstream jet for a personal vacation in the Adirondacks.”
“Please tell me that’s not accurate,” Hawley told Wray.
...
More than a week after The Post broke the story that Wray had gone to his family’s vacation home in Saranac Lake, No. 3 House Republican Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and the top Republicans on the House Oversight and Intelligence committees asked Wray to hand over records about his personal use of the jet and reimburse taxpayers for any non-official travel.
...
Wray had used the jet for similar travel in early June of this year.
“Although certain federal officials are permitted to use government aircraft for personal or political use, these expenses must be reimbursed,” she added.
Republicans cannot currently compel Wray to produce such documents, but will be able to do so beginning in January when they retake control of the House.

He took the FBI jet TurdForce 1
Liar
Why not? It isn’t like he’s going to get in any trouble over it.
How does he get to use a government plane for personal use?
A guy named Sununu back in, I think the Reagan administration, took a government jet to a stamp auction. It ended his career.
I guess vacations are okay, though. Especially if you can use that to duck testifying. Perfectly fine. Yep.
Whose gonna stop him?
The fish stinks from the head.
PELOSI subletted it to him ???????
He admits it, knowing there will be zero negative consequence over admitting it. Another criminal who will go unpunished.
Why in the world did Trump allow this guy to climb into the top slot?
“How does he get to use a government plane for personal use?”
In the hearing, he told Hawley that he’s “REQUIRED” to use government planes at all times, due to security. Probably lying.
If I'd only known where he was flying out from, or where he was landing, I would have conducted one of those "peaceful protests."
“Why in the world did Trump allow this guy to climb into the top slot?”
He didn’t “allow” it; he pro-actively PLACED Wray there.
So I'm assuming that like Pelosi, he has his own government security protection that covers him 24/7, no matter where he is. And like Pelosi, he won't have that forever.
What consequence did he suffer for this? It’s no wonder the d’s have no respect for the impotent cucks calling themselves “conservatives”.
