Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said that the House Oversight Committee will be holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt over his refusal to assist in the investigation of the Biden family.
Greene tweeted a denunciation of the “Biden crime family,” followed by her backing of Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s (R-KY) statement in which he announced he would take steps to hold Wray in contempt of Congress.

“FBI Director Wray’s continuous attempts to protect Joe Biden and his entire criminal family to further our country’s two-tiered justice system must come to an end. That’s why @GOPOversight will be holding Chris Wray in contempt of Congress,” Greene tweeted.

Greene attached Comer’s statement in her tweet.
“Today, the FBI informed the Committee that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee,” Comer wrote late Tuesday afternoon. “The FBI’s decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable.”
Comer added, “While I have a call scheduled with FBI Director Wray tomorrow to discuss his response further, the Committee has been clear in its intent to protect Congressional oversight authorities and will now be taking steps to hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena.”
The feud came after Comer unveiled evidence obtained through subpoenas that “the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million” from companies belonging to foreign nationals.

Comer listed the names of nine Biden family members that he believes are implicated in the payments. The memo names Hunter Biden; James Biden; James Biden’s wife, Sara; Beau Biden’s widow and Hunter Biden’s ex-girlfriend, Hallie Biden; Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle; Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen; and three children of Joe Biden or of James Biden as having received payments.
The FBI has repeatedly refused to hand over a bureau form that Comer claims describes a “criminal scheme” involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and an unnamed “foreign national.” The agency argued that “as is clear from the name itself, confidentiality is definitional to the FBI’s Confidential Human Source program” and that “significant harm to investigative work — and to the program as a whole — could result from dissemination of FD-1023s or other similar documents.”
