The Epoch Times Header

House Republicans released a resolution to hold Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress on June 7.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability recommendation stems from Wrayโ€™s refusal to comply with a subpoena that was issued by the committee early last month that included a May 31 deadline.

The Full Committee business meeting is set to discuss and consider the resolution on June 8, at 9:00 am (EST).

โ€œWe have been clear that the FBI must produce the unclassified FD-1023 record to the custody of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability,โ€ Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said, according to the Oversight Committeeโ€™s press release.

โ€œTo date, the FBI has refused to comply with our lawfully issued subpoena and even refused to admit the recordโ€™s existence up until a week ago. Once Director Wray confirmed the recordโ€™s existence, the FBI started their coverup by leaking a false narrative to the media.โ€

The resolution will now undergo deliberation and discussion during the Full Committee business meeting, where members will have the opportunity to voice their perspectives and engage in further examination of the situation.

โ€œThe case is not closed as the White House, Democrats, and the FBI would have the American people believe,โ€ Comer went on in the announcement of the resolution.

โ€œThe 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.

โ€œThe informant had first-hand conversations with the foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-Vice President [Joe] Biden. And now, Attorney General Barr has confirmed that the record was given to the U.S. Attorney in Delaware for the purpose of that investigation,โ€ he said.

โ€œAmericans have lost trust in the FBIโ€™s ability to enforce the law impartially and demand answers, transparency, and accountability. The Oversight Committee must follow the facts for the American people and ensure the federal government is held accountable.โ€
