- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Monday he will bring contempt charges against FBI Director Christopher Wray after he was allowed to examine — but not keep — an June 2020 informant memo alleging Joe Biden was involved in a foreign bribery scheme as vice president.
- The Kentucky Republican say he could file the contempt charge as early as next week.
- Comer said the bureau told him the allegation came from a trusted informant, has not been disproven and remains under investigative three years after it was first made.
- “Today, FBI officials confirmed that the unclassified, FBI-generated record has not been disproven and stated several times the information contained within it is currently being used in an ongoing investigation,” Comer said. “The confidential human source who provided information about then-Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been used by the FBI for years.
