FBI Director Christopher Wray blew through another subpoena deadline and faces a contempt charge for refusing to hand over a form allegedly describing a “criminal scheme” involving President Joe Biden.
Rep. James Comer , chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who is conducting an investigation into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, said Tuesday the FBI again declined to hand over the FBI record, which lays out an alleged “scheme” tied to Joe Biden and a yet-unnamed “foreign national" during the president's vice presidency.
The FBI also released a statement Tuesday, calling Comer's escalation before the planned Wednesday phone call"unnecessary." Comer had sent the FBI a letter in early May telling the bureau that “whistleblower disclosures” indicated that the FBI and Justice Department are “in possession” of an FD-1023 form that describes an “alleged criminal scheme” involving Joe Biden and a foreign national “relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” An FD-1023 form is a document the FBI uses to record interviews with a confidential human source.
