Marjorie Taylor Greene Wants To Boot FBI Director For 'Unprecedented Raid' Of Trump's Home

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has introduced articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray. Fox News Digital obtained the articles, which outline Greene's accusations and explained her reasoning for seeking Wray's impeachment.

What Happened: Greene alleges in the articles that Wray has been instrumental in forming a federal police force designed to target American citizens who are seen as opponents of the Biden administration.

Instances she cites as evidence of FBI overreach include the "unprecedented raid" on former President Donald Trump's home on August 8, 2022, and the creation of a "terrorist threat tag" following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade earlier that summer.

After the raid on Trump's residence, Greene filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. She also revealed on Tuesday her intention to introduce similar articles against Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Responding to Greene's claims, a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "Both FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves are dedicated public servants who have committed their careers to keeping our country safe."

The impeachment attempt against Wray follows Special Counsel John Durham's final report on the FBI's investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and Trump during the 2016 campaign. Durham's conclusions indicated that the FBI and DOJ were hasty in initiating the investigation and relied excessively on uncorroborated intelligence.

Why It Matters: The push to impeach Wray underscores ongoing concerns about the FBI's actions and highlights the necessity for transparency and accountability within the agency. With debates surrounding the impeachment still ongoing, it remains uncertain how these allegations will influence the FBI's standing and future operations.

President Trump nominated Wray in 2017 after dismissing then-director James Comey. Wray became the eighth director of the FBI on August 2, 2017.
