Fox News correspondent David Spunt has more on the three narratives at play during the House Oversight hearing on 'Special Report.'
"Section 702’s critical importance to our national security has only grown with the evolution of technology and threats. Without Section 702 we would be unable to plug a critical intelligence gap — one that foreign threat actors regularly exploit as they traverse computer networks and electronic service providers to conduct cyberattacks, espionage campaigns, or coordinate with likeminded terrorists," Wray wrote.
Wray said the intelligence community has assessed that China is attempting to"preposition" on U.S. critical infrastructure in an effort to set up"backdoors to cripple" that infrastructure"in the event China invades Taiwan," which he said would limit the U.S.’ ability to assist the small island nation.
"Along with impeding our ability to assist Taiwan in case of an attack, such Chinese intrusions are meant to wreak havoc with the everyday lives of Americans, and they have the potential to cause millions of dollars in damage to industry," he wrote, adding that these targets can"potentially jeopardize the physical safety of Americans."
