.SpeakerMcCarthy threatened to bring contempt charges against FBI Director Christopher Wray if he fails to furnish a key document Tuesday. The document has long been pursued by republicans led by GOPoversight Chairman JamesComer.
Republicans led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer have long pursued a document they believe details information about an alleged exchange of money between President Joe Biden and a foreign national. Comer subpoenaed Wray roughly a month ago for the file and gave him until Tuesday as a deadline."If he misses the deadline today, I am prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him. We have jurisdiction over this. He can send us that document.
“Releasing confidential source information could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk. The FBI remains committed to cooperating with Congress’s oversight requests on this matter and others as we always have," the FBI said. "I told them he can redact certain parts of that, names and others, so we wouldn't know methods. But we have a right to see it. He does not have the right to choose what he can and cannot show us," McCarthy insisted.Specifics of the alleged bribery scheme remain murky, but it is believed to have transpired during Biden's time as vice president.
Comer has long accused the Biden family of engaging in influence-peddling schemes abroad. White House Counsel's Office spokesman Ian Sams has previously countered that Comer has consistently"been promising then failing to deliver" a smoking gun against Biden.
