The FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Justice where I served play a pivotal role in securing our freedoms and our safeties for American citizens. If confirmed as the next FBI Director, I will remain focused on the FBI's core mission. That is to investigate fully wherever there is a constitutional factual basis to do so and to never make a prosecutorial decision that is solely the providence of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General.
