The country is facing heightened threats from many corners at a time when law enforcement agencies are struggling, FBI Director Christopher Wray said in an exclusive interview, adding that he is �hard pressed to think of a time in my career where so many different kinds of threats are all elevated at once.�

�I worry about the combination of that many threats being elevated at once, with the challenges facing the men and women in law enforcement more generally,� Wray said at the office in the suburb of Brooklyn Center. �And the one thing that I think helps bridge those two challenges is partnerships. That�s how we get through. It is by all working together.�

�One of the things that we have been doubling down on with every passing day is, is on partnerships, because ultimately you�re talking about the ability to connect the dots, whether it�s against some kind of election influence threat or some other kind of threat,� Wray said. �You need to have partners sharing information with each other to put the two pieces together to see the bigger picture.�
