According to reports, the FBI considered using Pegasus spyware in criminal investigations

The materials seem to provide a different image of the FBI’s interest in Pegasus than the one presented to Congress during a closed-door meeting in December by FBI Director Chris Wray. “If you mean have we utilised it in any of our investigations to gather or target anyone, the answer is – as I’m informed – no,” he said to Senator Ron Wyden’s query. “The reason I hedge, and I want to be upfront about it, is because we have bought some of their research and development capabilities.” In other words, to be able to find out how evil folks may utilise it.”
