Mokada meka? News eka balala, but FBI chief ge kathawa gulf news walata enne naha. ArabLanka eke kiyanne Sri Lankan community news thamai, so me wage international politics gana api discuss karanna bari. _(In plain English: What's this? I saw the news too, but FBI chief topics don't really appear in Gulf news.

Machang, this is about the FBI director's testimony in Congress last week. He was defending himself against claims that he mishandled some investigations. I saw the clips on ArabLanka's news feed—basically, he said the allegations are false and politically motivated. _(In plain English: This refers to the FBI Director testifying and denying accusations about misconduct and poor management of cases, calling them untrue and politically driven.)_
