FBI Director James Comey will testify before the House Judiciary Committee next week following reports that the agency was tipped off about the weekend terrorist attacks in New York and New Jersey.

"From San Bernardino to Orlando to the most recent terrorist attacks in New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota, the United States has experienced a rise in radical Islamic terrorism and we must ensure that the FBI has the resources needed for its counterterrorism efforts in order to thwart these heinous plots and protect Americans from harm," Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement announcing the hearing.

He said the oversight hearing will also give lawmakers another chance to ask Comey why he decided not to launch a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and mishandling of classified information.

Goodlatte said the decision "defies logic," and he wants to know if Comey has followed up on his earlier request to investigate Clinton for perjury.

The FBI has come under criticism for its handling of terror threats. In addition to the bomber who struck last weekend, the terrorist who killed 29 people in an Orlando nightclub this summer had also been on the FBI radar.
