FBI Director Christopher Wray will provide a form to the House Oversight Committee that Republicans allege contains evidence of a “criminal scheme” involving President Joe Biden.
The Oversight meeting to vote on holding the FBI director in contempt of Congress for his previous refusal to provide the document has been taken off the docket for Thursday because the FBI agreed to allow the Oversight Committee to review the document, according to a press release from the committee.

“After weeks of refusing to even admit the FD-1023 record exists, the FBI has caved and is now allowing all members of the Oversight and Accountability Committee to review this unclassified record that memorializes a confidential human source’s conversations with a foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-Vice President Joe Biden,” Comer said in the release.
“Americans have lost trust in the FBI’s ability to enforce the law impartially and demand answers, transparency, and accountability,” he continued.
On Monday, the White House dismissed claims from Comer that an FBI briefing on wrongdoing by the president and members of his family — Comer and ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) came away from the briefing with drastically different conclusions — was indicative of the need for further investigation.

“This is yet another fact-free stunt staged by Chairman Comer not to conduct legitimate oversight, but to spread thin innuendo to try to damage the President politically and get himself media attention,” Ian Sams, the White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, said in a statement.
