Speaker Kevin McCarthy has declared he will begin contempt charges against FBI Director Chris Wray if he does not hand over a potentially damning document involving President Joe Biden.
Tuesday marks the deadline for the FBI to turn over an internal document that Republicans claim shows President Joe Biden was involved in a $5 million ‘criminal’ scheme with a foreign national.
The internal unclassified FD-1023 form apparently details an ‘arrangement’ for an exchange of money for policy decisions, the Republicans have said and issued a subpoena for last month. “If he misses the deadline today, I am prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him,” McCarthy declared on Fox & Friends.
‘The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people. Releasing confidential source information could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk,’ the FBI told DailyMail.com last week in a statement regarding whether it will turn over the FD-1023 form.
A spokesperson for committee Democrats told DailyMail.com last week that Comer is basing claims off an ‘unsubstantiated tip’ and accused the chairman of using ‘political theater’ to prop up former President Donald Trump’s primary poll numbers.
