美国联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷(Christopher Wray)周三在美国联邦调查局内布拉斯加州奥马哈办事处回答问题时表示，他不能谈论联邦调查局特工搜查前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的住所马阿拉戈(Mar-a-Lago)的事情，但他确实表示，他“一直担心”执法部门面临的威胁。
“嗯，我相信你可以理解，这不是我可以谈论的事情，”雷说，他成为第一位拒绝就搜查前总统房产的记录和镜头发表评论的司法部高级官员。
多个消息来源向美国广播公司新闻证实，前总统唐纳德·特朗普的Mar-a-Lago庄园周一遭到联邦调查局特工的突袭。
消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，搜索于上午10点左右开始
这位前总统周一晚上发表声明说，联邦调查人员在那里，他们甚至打开了他的保险箱。
对正在进行的调查不予置评是司法部的标准做法。

高级执法官员告诉美国广播公司新闻，在突袭后，针对普通联邦调查局特工的暴力威胁有所上升。
虽然没有直接解决这些威胁，但雷说，任何针对执法的威胁都值得关注。
“无论任何人对什么感到不安，针对执法人员的暴力都不是答案，”雷说。"在过去的几年里，针对执法部门的暴力事件有了惊人的增长。"
这位主任说，需要一个“特殊的人”为一个陌生人牺牲自己的生命，而这正是包括联邦调查局特工在内的执法人员每天都在做的事情。
当被问及针对FBI特工的威胁的更多细节时，FBI提供了一份通用声明，但没有提供任何细节。
“联邦调查局一直关注对执法人员的暴力和暴力威胁，包括联邦调查局的男女工作人员，”一位未透露姓名的联邦调查局发言人在给美国广播公司新闻的电子邮件中说。“我们与执法伙伴密切合作，评估和应对这种应受谴责和危险的威胁。一如既往，我们希望提醒公众，如果他们观察到任何可疑情况，请立即向执法部门报告。”
提醒一下，Wray是前总统特朗普在2017年任命的，在很多有争议的问题上一直没有直言不讳。
FBI Director condemns threats after Trump raid
Answering questions at the FBI Omaha, Nebraska field office, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday he couldn't talk about FBI agents searching Mar-a-Lago, the home of former President Donald Trump, but did say that he is "always concerned" about the threats to law enforcement.
"Well, as I'm sure you can appreciate that's not something I can talk about," Wray said, becoming the first senior Justice Department official to decline to comment on the record and on camera about the search of the former president's estate.
Multiple sources confirmed to ABC News that former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by FBI agents on Monday.
The sources told ABC News that the search began at around 10 a.m.
The former president put out a statement Monday evening saying federal investigators were there and that they had even gotten into his safe.
It is standard Justice Department practice to not comment on ongoing investigations.
There is an uptick in violent threats against rank and file FBI agents in the wake of the raid, senior law enforcement officials told ABC News.
While not directly addressing those threats, Wray said any threat against law enforcement is cause for concern.
"Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter what anyone is upset about," Wray said. "In the last few years we've had an alarming rise in violence against law enforcement."
The Director said it takes a "special person" to sacrifice his or her life for a stranger, and that is what law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, do every day.
When asked for more specifics on the threats against FBI agents, the FBI offered a generic statement and provided no details.
"The FBI is always concerned about violence and threats of violence to law enforcement, including the men and women of the FBI," an unnamed FBI spokesperson said in an e-mail to ABC News. "We work closely with our law enforcement partners to assess and respond to such threats, which are reprehensible and dangerous. As always, we would like to remind members of the public that if they observe anything suspicious to report it to law enforcement immediately."
As a reminder, Wray was appointed by former President Trump in 2017, and has not been outspoken on many controversial issues.
