Comer To Hold FBI Director Wray In Contempt Of Congress

If all goes well…

House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., has announced he will move to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress over his refusal to hand over an unclassified document to the custody of the Oversight Committee.

Comer announced the decision at a press conference after viewing the document that reportedly claims then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in “a pattern of bribery, where payments would be made through shell accounts and multiple banks.”

“There’s a term for that — it’s called money laundering,” Comer added.

Per Fox News:

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said he will begin the process of holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, despite viewing and being briefed by bureau officials on the subpoenaed document alleging Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme on Capitol Hill Monday. 

The FBI brought the document in question–an FBI-generated FD-1023 form that allegedly describes a $5 million criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions–to Capitol Hill Monday for Comer, R-Ky., and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., to review in a secure SCIF Monday after a back-and-forth between committee Republicans and the bureau over whether it was in compliance of his subpoena.

The FBI initially offered to allow Comer to review the document at FBI headquarters, but amid Comer’s threats to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, the bureau offered additional accommodations to bring the physical document to Capitol Hill.

Despite the accommodation, Comer said Monday that the FBI is still not in compliance with the subpoena to turn over the physical document to the committee.
