FBI Director Christopher Wray's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday shed light on an internal investigation within the agency stemming from an inappropriate post about former President Trump's assassination attempt.

The Director did not specify the nature of the post, its platform, or the individual's title or employment status within the FBI. However, he stated that the individual has been referred to the agency's inspection division for internal disciplinary proceedings.

Wray's revelation came during his testimony on the Trump rally shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the subsequent investigation into the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks allegedly scaled the roof of a building near the rally site and fired a shot at Trump, narrowly missing him.

The explosive testimony also unveiled details about Crooks' search history and activities leading up to the incident. Wray disclosed that Crooks had searched for information on President John F. Kennedy's assassination and had flown a drone in the area near the rally just two hours before Trump's appearance.

Wray acknowledged that the FBI is still uncertain about how Crooks accessed the roof of the building, despite his purchase of a ladder. "We did not find the ladder at the scene," he testified.

The FBI Director's testimony follows the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle after scrutiny over the security failures during the Trump rally on July 13. Fox News Digital has reached out to the FBI for further comment.

In addition to the internal investigation into the inappropriate post, Wray's testimony revealed that the FBI continues to probe the Trump rally shooting incident. The agency is examining Crooks' motive and background, as well as the security measures implemented at the event.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of political figures and the effectiveness of security protocols at such gatherings. The FBI's ongoing investigation aims to determine the extent of Crooks' involvement and identify any potential security lapses that may have contributed to the incident.

As the investigation progresses, more details are expected to emerge about the circumstances surrounding the assassination attempt and the FBI's ongoing probe.
