'Not something I've observed': Matt Gaetz shot down by FBI director on Biden's 'decline'

FBI Director Christopher Wray derailed questions from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) about President Joe Biden's alleged mental "decline."

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Gaetz veered away from questions about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Instead, the Florida Republican asked Wray about Biden.

"When did you notice his decline?" Gaetz said.

"In my interactions, in my role, all my interactions with the current president have been completely professional," Wray replied.

"Right, but I mean the cognitive decline," the lawmaker pressed.

"Again, I don't meet with him very often, but what you're describing is not something that I've observed during my interactions with him," Wray explained.

The FBI director called his interactions with Biden "uneventful and unremarkable."

"It never occurred to you that this guy wasn't up to it in all these briefings you did?" Gaetz pushed again.

"As I said, my briefings with the president have all been completely fine," Wray insisted.

"Were they between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.?" Gaetz wanted to know. "We hear those are his good hours."

"Times that I have briefed, I've included outside those hours," the FBI director observed.
