The House Oversight Committee will move Thursday to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday.
Comer announced the contempt of Congress proceeding after a meeting with the FBI and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) in which the bureau refused to hand over custody of an unclassified subpoenaed document that allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national.
“At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee and we will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday,” Comer told reporters.
