.GOPoversight Chairman JamesComer released the text of a resolution holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. Comer has long been threatening to introduce the resolution as Wray has refused to hand over a document to the committee.
Comer has been threatening to introduce the resolution for weeks as Wray has refused to hand over a document that Oversight Republicans believe shows evidence of a"criminal scheme" from the Biden family. The resolution will be considered at a full committee business meeting at 9:00 A.M. on Thursday.“We have been clear that the FBI must produce the unclassified FD-1023 record to the custody of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability," Comer said in a statement.
Comer touted the credentials of the person who gave the tip to the FBI and argued that the agency's refusal to hand over the document was harming its credibility in the eyes of the public."The FBI created this record based on information from a credible informant who has worked with the FBI for over a decade and paid six figures. The informant had first-hand conversations with the foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-Vice President Biden.
A count of contempt of Congress is punishable by up to one year in prison, along with a maximum $100,000 fine.
