Rep Trey Gowdy DISECTS FBI Director Chris Wray

"I work with line agents, the line women back in South Carolina and other states," said Gowdy. "Their reputation is not in tatters. They're the kind of people we want working in our Justice Department."

However, the "higher ups have had a really bad two years," he continued. "Right now the American people aren't focused on the great agents in South Carolina. They're focused on [James] Comey and [Andrew] McCabe and now Wray."

Gowdy also said he does not think Congress should have to fight with the FBI to access information that that it is entitled to possess.

"We should not have to threaten contempt of Congress," he said. "I don't want the drama of a contempt of Congress floor fight. I want to information to do our jobs and we shouldn't have to fight with the Department of Justice to access that information."
