Outgoing FBI Director Chris Wray left a series of parting warnings as he gets ready to leave his post once President-elect Donald Trump takes office. China being the "defining threat of our generation," the chance that terrorist attacks on U.S. soil are closer than expected by many and his handling of investigations into Trump and President Joe Biden were some of the topics he went through.

Speaking to CBS' 60 Minutes, Wray said China is the greatest long-term threat facing the U.S., highlighting that its cyber program has stolen more information from the country than all others combined. "To lie in wait on those networks to be in a position to wreak havoc and can inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing," Wray said.
