.FBI Director Christopher Wray and DHSgov SecMayorkas are both set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee for separate hearings sometime next month before lawmakers leave town for August recess, a source familiar confirmed to dcexaminer.
The hearings are part of regularly scheduled meetings with top administration officials that lawmakers conduct several times a year. However, these appearances come as the two officials have endured tough scrutiny by House Republicans, particularly those who sit on the powerful Judiciary Committee.
Greene also filed articles of impeachment against Wray last month, accusing the FBI director of intimidating those who are “deemed enemies of the Biden regime” and politicizing the agency to target conservatives. The Georgia Republican also accused Wray of shielding Biden and his son Hunter from criminal investigations, citing a subpoenaed FD-1023 form that the FBI has not to turn over to House leadership.“That being an unclassified form, he should easily be able to hand it over.
Wray is expected to testify before the panel sometime in mid-July, while Mayorkas is set to appear the week before the House leaves for its monthlong recess. It’s not yet clear what dates the two will appear.
