Wray: FBI has opened ‘a number’ of domestic terror probes into attacks on churches, pro-life centers

The FBI has opened “a number” of domestic terror investigations into attacks on churches and pro-life centers since the leak of a Supreme Court abortion opinion that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray said Thursday.

In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Wray said the bureau has begun domestic violent extremist investigations using several of its joint task forces with local law enforcement. He said the probes also are focused on attacks or threats against pregnancy resource centers.

Mr. Wray did not say how many investigations have been opened by the FBI but said probes were active in Iowa, North Carolina and Tennessee.
