FBI Director Christopher Wray says tech companies should let law enforcement decrypt messages — but he argued the exact opposite in court in 2015, new filings show

As FBI director, Christopher Wray has called on tech companies to make it easier for law enforcement to crack into encrypted messages.

Details of the sealed 2015 lawsuit surfaced Wednesday as part of an ongoing legal battle between WhatsApp and Israeli spyware firm NSO Group.For nearly a decade, the federal government has been trying to make tech companies like Apple and Facebook build "back doors" into their messaging apps that would let law enforcement access people's encrypted messages.

. The law firm Wray previously worked for, King & Spalding, represents NSO Group in the current lawsuit, and Facebook is arguing that the firm has a conflict of interest because it defended WhatsApp in the 2015 suit.
