House Oversight Chair Comer says the committee is moving forward with a vote to hold FBI Director Wray in criminal contempt of Congress for failing to hand over a document in the panel's investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings.
, saying that it is bound by Justice Department policy, which “strictly limits when and how confidential human source information can be provided outside of the FBI.”
Comer said he was scheduled to speak with Wray on Wednesday about the agency’s refusal to hand over the information, but the committee is preparing to take the punitive step ahead of their conversation. The letter also outlines how the FBI explained to Comer and his staff the way FD-1023 forms were used and how they are vetted by agents to ensure their accuracy.
An FBI spokesperson said in a statement that the bureau “remains committed to cooperating with the committee in good faith.”
