FBI Director Confirms Existence of Document Alleging Biden Involved in Bribery Scheme: House GOP

The Epoch Times Header

The FBI has still failed to hand over the document to the Oversight Committee, prompting further threats of contempt of Congress charges

FBI Director Christopher Wray has confirmed the existence of a document alleging that President Joe Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national according to Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.

In aย Twitter post, the panel announced that Wray had told them the document was real and offered to let them review it, but has failed to produce the document for the Oversight Committee as a whole.

If true, the acknowledgment is the latest in an escalating showdown betweenย House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Wray over the document.

In a May 3 letter, Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed that they received โ€œhighly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosuresโ€ that the FBI possessed an unclassified record that โ€œdescribes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.โ€

Comer gave Wray a May 30 deadline to produce the document or face charges for contempt of Congressโ€”a deadline Wray missed. The threat got a boost after it won the support of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who agreed to hold Wray in contempt if the deadline wasnโ€™t met.

On May 31, Wray met with Comer and others, when he allegedly revealed the truth of the documentโ€™s existence.

But heโ€™s failed to turn it over to the panel, prompting Republicans to again warn that theyโ€™ll move forward with contempt charges.

โ€œIf the FBI fails to hand over the FD-1023 form as required by the subpoena, [Comer] will begin contempt of Congress proceedings,โ€ the Oversight panel wrote on Twitter.

After the announcement, the White House criticized Comerโ€™s investigation into the matter, calling it a โ€œsilly charadeโ€ and โ€œyet another reminder that his so-called โ€˜investigationsโ€™ are political stunts not meant to get information but to spread thin innuendo and falsehoods to attack the president.
