.FBI Director Christopher Wray has agreed to allow top members of GOPoversight to view a subpoenaed document relating to the committee's investigation into President JoeBiden and his family. RepJamesComer will receive an FBI briefing on Monday.
A spokesperson from the committee told the Washington Examiner the document will be reviewed and that Chairman James Comer will receive a briefing from the FBI on Monday."Chairman Comer has been clear that anything short of producing the FD-1023 form to the House Oversight Committee is not compliance with his subpoena. This unclassified record contains pages of details that need to be investigated further by the House Oversight Committee," the spokesperson said.
This comes after Comer threatened to hold Wray and the FBI in contempt of Congress after the director failed to hand over information the Oversight Committee requested related to an"alleged criminal scheme" involving the Biden family during Biden's time as vice president. On Wednesday, Wray and Comer spoke on the phone, joined by Sen. Chuck Grassley . Wray confirmed to the lawmakers that the document the chairman is looking for exists, but he declined to turn it over to Congress, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
Monday's viewing on Capitol Hill is a likely compromise, but Comer still views Wray's actions as a violation of a congressional subpoena, and he hasn't taken the threat of holding Wray in contempt of Congress off the table because the FBI director is still refusing to hand over the document in accordance with the subpoena.
