In the latest step towards draining the swamp once and for all, disgraced former FBI Director Christopher Wray has just been criminally referred to the DOJ.
The Oversight Project issued the criminal referral over allegations that Wray lied to Congress and obstructed proceedings in two major cases.
Here are the details:

Specifically, the Oversight Project alleges that Wray gave false testimony and obstructed proceedings related to a case involving the FBI’s targeting of Catholics and another, separate case regarding voter fraud.

If convicted, Christopher Wray could spend up to 7 years in prison.
Fox News reported:
A Washington-based government transparency watchdog has referred former FBI Director Christopher Wray to the Department of Justice and the FBI, urging a criminal investigation into allegations that he had made false statements to Congress and obstructed proceedings in two high-profile cases.
Oversight Project President Mike Howell told Fox News Digital that the group is specifically asking officials to examine Wray’s congressional testimony on the so-called Richmond memo from the FBI office in Virginia that exposed an anti-Catholic bias there, and his testimony about a Chinese plot to disseminate illicit driver’s licenses before the 2020 election.
Here’s a breakdown of the specific allegations that Christopher Wray is facing, related to these two cases:
1. Misleading Congress – Catholic Memo
Background: A 2023 FBI memo labeled certain traditionalist Catholics as potential domestic terror threats.
Wray’s Statement: Told Congress the memo originated from a single FBI field office (Richmond, VA).
ADVERTISEMENTAllegation: Whistleblower documents revealed involvement from multiple FBI offices, contradicting Wray’s testimony.
Key Concern: Alleged targeting of Americans based on religious beliefs.
2. Misleading Congress – CCP & Chinese Threats
Wray’s Claim: Asserted the FBI quickly acted on Chinese Communist Party-linked threats to U.S. citizens.
Allegation: Internal records and whistleblower testimony suggest significant delays and internal hesitance to act.
Implication: Wray may have falsely portrayed the FBI’s urgency and effectiveness in addressing Chinese threats.
Last month, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the discovery of an intelligence report from 2020 that pointed to a CCP plot to rig the 2020 election.
That report was substantiated by CBP seizing thousands of fake IDs from China prior to the election.
There’s no way that Christopher Wray did not know about that. And yet, he testified before Congress that there was zero evidence of an election fraud effort.
The Blaze dove deeper into this:
The referral obtained by Blaze News, which was also sent to Director Patel’s office on Thursday, alleges that Wray violated federal law by giving false and misleading testimony to Congress on the topic of known voter fraud efforts.
On Sept. 24, 2020, Wray told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that the FBI had “not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.”
On March 2, 2021, Wray suggested to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the FBI was “not aware of any widespread evidence of voter fraud, much less that would have affected the outcome of the presidential election.”
The trouble with both statements is that they fly in the face of what the FBI apparently knew about the alleged Chinese communist attempt to swing the election for Biden.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced on July 27, 2020, that between Jan. 1 and June 30 of that election year, CBP officers at the International Mail Facility at Chicago O’Hare International Airport had seized 1,513 shipments containing fraudulent documents, including 19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses.
“The majority of these shipments were arriving from China and Hong Kong, with other seized shipments arriving from Great Britain and South Korea,” noted CBP.
Blaze News previously reported that the bulk of the licenses were intended for college-age students across numerous states and in many cases had functional barcodes.
The August 2020 FBI intelligence report helped make sense of this sudden glut of fake IDs, suggesting that the Chinese communist regime was mass-producing fake American driver’s licenses in order to create voter identities for Chinese nationals so that they could vote with fake mail-in ballots.
Patel told Just the News that while substantiated, the allegations in the intelligence report “were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public.”
The Oversight Project made abundantly clear in its referral that it was highly unlikely Wray was unaware of this report and the allegations therein when he testified before Congress in 2020 and 2021.
Wray’s criminal referral marks the latest in a series of high-profile referrals and investigations.
About a week ago, Jerome Powell was criminally referred to the DOJ, and recently, investigations were launched into James Comey and John Brennan.
Lots of probes and referrals are up in the air… but, whether or not any convictions will come of this remains to be seen.
