FBI wants more money to counter China’s efforts to ‘lie, cheat and steal to surpass the U.S.’

The FBI Director is testifying in the House Budget Committee hearing in Washington D.C. and is saying a lot about the threat China poses.

The Congressional committee examining the threat from the Chinese Communist Party says the FBI is not sharing information about its efforts to stop Beijing over police stations in the U.S. after two men were arrested for allegedly running one such operation in New York City’s Chinatown.

Lawmakers want officials to be transparent on whether there are additional Chinese Police Stations in America.

FBI Director Christopher Ray was in the hot seat on Capitol Hill. He’s making his case to Congress about why he thinks the FBI should get $11.5 billion of taxpayer money this year.

During his testimony, he laid it out on the line about how he sees the biggest threat to America right now.

“My priority has been since early during my time as Director of the Chinese government and the Chinese communist party which I think represents the greatest threat to our country and we’ve grown investigations into the Chinese government and their actors 1,300 per cent,” Wray said.

Wray says currently the FBI has over 2,000 open investigations into the threat from China.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
