Comer Cancels Move to Hold Director Wray in Contempt After FBI Comes to Its Senses

It's been quite the week for FBI Director Christopher Wray, as he could have been held in contempt of Congress on Thursday, had his agency not turned over a document alleging then Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. The warning of contempt came Monday from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), with a resolution released on Wednesday. In a turn of events, though, it was revealed on Wednesday that the FBI had come to its senses.

 

The document that the FBI is now willing to turn over to Chairman Comer, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and all members of the committee, is one that the agency wasn't even willing to admit existed, let alone turn over as a result of a subpoena order. Two additional documents will also be available for Comer and Raskin to review. 

Fox News reported on the development, citing "a source familiar," with Comer also issuing a statement indicating that "the FBI has caved" while also warning about "lost trust" and suggesting more updates will be coming: Read more and see tweets here.
