House Republicans will finally get a chance to press FBI Director Chris Wray for answers they’ve spent months seeking.
Wray’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday will mark his first appearance at a public hearing since former special counsel John Durham released findings of widespread FBI misconduct in the Russia investigation. It’ll also be his first since multiple whistleblowers from the IRS and FBI have come forward with descriptions of the preferential treatment offered to Hunter Biden.
The FBI initially denied that the document existed. Wray eventually relented and allowed lawmakers to view a redacted version of the form, but not before House Republicans threatened to hold him in contempt of Congress. Steven D’Antuono, then the assistant director in charge at the FBI’s Washington field office, said he disagreed with the Justice Department’s decision to forge ahead with an unannounced raid rather than seek the cooperation of Trump’s lawyers, who had to date been working with the Justice Department on the return of classified information.
Why did the FBI limit the number of witnesses who IRS investigators could contact during the Hunter Biden investigation? “I learned the FBI case agent in Delaware had only recently moved back to his hometown of Wilmington with his wife and family and was concerned about the consequences for him and his family if they conducted these sensitive interviews and executed a search warrant of the President Biden guest house,” Shapley said.
Meanwhile, an anti-abortion activist involved in a minor physical altercation while protesting abortions at an abortion clinic in 2021 was arrested by Wray’s FBI agents on serious federal charges, of which he was later acquitted.
