James Comer Seeks To Hold FBI Director In Contempt

The Washington Post reports:

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released a resolution Wednesday to hold FBI Director Christopher A. Wray in contempt of Congress for not fully complying with a subpoena. Comer said his panel would vote on the resolution Thursday.

At issue is a document containing unverified allegations from a confidential informant about President Biden and his family. FBI officials provided Comer and Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (Md.), the top Democrat on the committee, with a briefing about the document on Monday, but Comer argued that is not sufficient.

“To date, the FBI has refused to comply with our lawfully issued subpoena and even refused to admit the record’s existence up until a week ago,” Comer said in a statement. “The FBI created this record based on information from a credible informant who has worked with the FBI for over a decade and paid six figures.”
