Oversight Chair Comer to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress over Biden doc alleging crime scheme
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Monday 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 that alleges President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme.
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 on Monday for Comer, R-Ky., and ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., to review in a secure SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), resulting from 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 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.
"At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee," Comer said in a statement. "And we will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday."
"Given the severity and complexity of the allegations contained within this record, Congress must investigate further," Comer wrote. "The investigation is not dead. This is only the beginning."
The FBI, on Monday, said the move to hold the director in contempt is unwarranted, as the bureau has "continually demonstrated its commitment to accommodate the committee's request, including by producing the document in a reading room at the U.S. Capitol."
"This commonsense safeguard is often employed in response to congressional requests and in court proceedings to protect important concerns, such as the physical safety of sources and the integrity of investigations," the FBI said in a statement. "The escalation to a contempt vote under these circumstances is unwarranted."
Meanwhile, Comer said FBI officials confirmed Monday that the unclassified FBI-generated record "has not been disproven and is currently being used in an ongoing investigation by a confidential human source who provided information about the vice president by being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been used by the FBI for over ten years and has been paid over 6 figures."
