The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) does not consider the Proud Boys organization a domestic terror group, Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday.

Asked about how the FBI classified the Proud Boys, Wray told lawmakers in Washington: “Well, I don’t think we have treated the Proud Boys itself as a domestic terrorism group.”
