Wray testified that the FBI considered the attack an act of "domestic terrorism." He said he understands why Democratic lawmakers have called the attack an "insurrection," but said it would not be appropriate for him to use that word because of the effect it could have on pending criminal cases.
"In my role as FBI director, because that's a term that has legal meaning, I really have to be careful about using words like that," Wray said.
