Scarborough Rips GOP Silence as Trump Floats DOJ Probe of Wray

MSNBC voices warn that turning federal law enforcement on political foes risks national-security damage.

Overview

  • President Trump told NBC he “would think” the Justice Department could examine former FBI director Christopher Wray.
  • The discussion followed a Blaze Media claim of 274 plainclothes FBI agents in Jan. 6 crowds, which Trump amplified despite NBC reporting no confirmed evidence.
  • Joe Scarborough criticized Senate Republicans for not publicly objecting to what he called the politicizing of federal investigations.
  • Scarborough invoked past efforts under William Barr and John Durham and House-led probes, arguing those inquiries backfired politically on Republicans.
  • NBC’s Ken Dilanian said many GOP senators share concerns privately but are staying quiet and warned that chasing unsubstantiated allegations diverts attention from real threats.
