The House Oversight Committee has given the FBI 24 hours to turn over a document that ties President Biden to an alleged $5 million foreign bribery scheme or else face contempt proceedings.
Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer on Monday gave FBI Director Christopher A. Wray a deadline of May 30 to hand over an internal unclassified FD-1023 form that reportedly describes a procedure for an exchange of money for policy decisions. Republican lawmakers issued a subpoena for the document last month.
The FBI has cited concerns about informant confidentiality with regard to the document and said its information has not been verified. A spokesperson for Democrats on the House Oversight Committee called Republicans’ pursuit of the document “political theater” based on an “unsubstantiated tip” to help former President Donald Trump in his 2024 primary campaign.
