Partial Transcript via CSPAN:

Senator Ted Cruz:

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, RECENTLY THERE WAS THE CASE AGAINST INDIVIDUALS CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING AND MURDERING GOVERNOR — THE GOVERNMENT IN LATE MICHIGAN. THE FOUR PEOPLE WHO WENT TO TRIAL, TWO OF THEM WERE ACQUITTED, NONE OF THEM WERE CONVICTED OF A SINGLE CHARGE. THE BASIS OF THE DEFENSE WAS THAT THE FBI, PAID ENFORCERS FROM THE FBI HAD SUGGESTED AND INCITED THE CONDUCT. HOW MANY FBI AGENTS WERE DISCIPLINED OUR REPRIMANDED AFTER THAT DISASTROUS CASE AND THE MISCONDUCT THAT LED TO EVERY DEFENDANT BEING ACQUITTED OR HAVING THE LESS CHARGE ON EVERY CHARGE.

FBI Director Wray: 

I CAN’T COMMENT ON EVERY CHARGE APPEARED THAT CASE IS PENDING A RETRIAL. 

Senator Ted Cruz:

WELL THE SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE OF THAT CASE HAS NOW BEEN SENT TO DC TO THE WASHINGTON DC OFFICE AND NOW LEADS THE INVESTIGATION INVOLVING JANUARY 6. IS THAT CORRECT?

FBI Director Wray:

THAT DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT TO ME. 

Senator Ted Cruz: 

THAT DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT? THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS STEPHEN D’Antuono, HE IS THE RUNNER OF THE FBI FIELD OFFICE. THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR, SPECIAL AGENT, ARE YOU AWARE THAT HE WAS APPARENTLY FIRED FOR ALLEGEDLY BEATING HIS WIFE AFTER COMING HOME FROM A SMOKERS PARTY? HE MADE MULTIPLE DEROGATORY POSTS ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOWING POLITICAL BIAS? ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT?

FBI Director Wray:

I AM AWARE I THINK OF THE INCIDENT YOU’RE DESCRIBING AN ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN ABOUT IT. HE WAS THE SPECIAL AGENT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OFFICE AND NOW THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE FIELD OFFICE. I THOUGHT YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT THE AGENT WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

Senator Ted Cruz:

SO THE GUY IN CHARGE GOT PROMOTED AND IN CHARGE OF THE JANUARY 6th INVESTIGATION?

FBI Director Wray:

THE GUY IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE DETROIT FIELD OFFICE IS NOW IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE WASHINGTON FIELD OFFICE.

Senator Ted Cruz: 

THAT IS ASTONISHING

The FBI remains corrupt.
