Comer starts contempt of Congress proceedings against FBI director over Biden document

James Comer (R-KY) moved to hold FBI Director Christopher A. Wray in contempt of Congress Wednesday for not fully complying with a subpoena to produce a document that he says contains allegations from a confidential informant about President Joe Biden and his family, The Washington Post reported.

“To date, the FBI has refused to comply with our lawfully issued subpoena and even refused to admit the record’s existence up until a week ago,” Comer said in a statement Wednesday as he released the contempt resolution. “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.”

According to Comer, who is the House Oversight Committee Chairman, the informant has firsthand information regarding a foreign national who claimed to have bribed Biden while he was vice president.

Comer said the committee will vote on the resolution this Thursday.
