Line 108: In 2022, [[U.S. Representative]]s [[Elise Stefanik]] and [[Paul Tonko]] called on the FBI to reveal whether it had any knowledge of Shahed Hussain's activities with the limousine company before the crash. At an April 2022 hearing of the [[House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence\|House Intelligence Committee]], Stefanik questioned FBI director [[Christopher A. Wray]] about whether Hussain's history as an informant may have led the bureau to protect him from consequences for the limousine company's extensive history of regulatory violations, but Wray refused to answer directly, citing confidentiality concerns. In August, Stefanik told ''[[Fox News]]'' that she had not received any response from the bureau, and a spokeswoman for Tonko stated likewise when asked by the ''[[Albany Times Union]]''.<ref>{{cite news\|last=Rulison\|first=Larry\|title=Stefanik continues to slam FBI over Schoharie limo crash case\|url=https://www.timesunion.com/business/article/Stefanik-continues-to-slam-FBI-over-Schoharie-17392078.php\|newspaper=[[Albany Times Union]]\|date=August 23, 2022\|access-date=August 24, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release \|author=<!--Not stated--> \|title=Stefanik Demands Answers from FBI Director Wray on Schoharie County Limo Crash\|url=https://stefanik.house.gov/2022/3/stefanik-demands-answers-from-fbi-director-wray-on-schoharie-county-limo-crash\|___location=[[Washington, DC]]\|publisher=Rep.
