Wray is no stranger to high-profile cases. His name appears on several redacted records in the ACLU's database of torture documents. According to a 2005 profile in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he had to assess on his first day at the Justice Department how the FBI misplaced files in the trial of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. He was also involved in the response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and helped coordinate the investigation into the District of Columbia-area snipers, according to the newspaper, although in an interview, he noted that his work was not all terrorism-related.
