FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declined to appear publicly before a US Senate committee to discuss national security threats, angering the committee's Democratic chairman. The FBI stated that they remain committed to sharing information about the evolving threat environment but believe that further discussions and additional information should be provided in a classified setting. The House Homeland Security Committee also postponed its hearing on the subject, which would have featured Wray and Mayorkas as witnesses, until December.
