Nominee highlights FBI crime-fighting statistics during confirmation exchange
Summary
In the hearing, the agency official listed several recent FBI metrics — including a 20% drop in the murder rate and 11,000 children found — as evidence of where resources have been focused.
During questioning about resource allocation, an agency official cited recent bureau outcomes to explain priorities. The official described “the 20% reduction in murder rate,” said “1,100 terrorist attacks [were] stopped,” noted “11,000 children found,” and referenced “54,000 violent offenders” as part of the FBI’s recent work.
The remarks came as part of a broader defense of how the bureau spends its resources and was delivered amid interjections from a committee member pressing about election-related deployments. The official framed those results as support for allocating resources to violent-crime reduction and homeland-defense activities rather than political operations.
