On Tuesday afternoon, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced that the FBI refused to apply with his subpoena and thus he will be holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. Chairman Comer is demanding that the FBI hand over a document that a whistleblower alleges documents President Biden's bribery scheme.
"Today, the FBI informed [GOP Oversight] that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee," Comer announced in a tweet. "The Committee will now be taking steps to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena."

"[T]he FBI informed the Committee that it will not provide the unclassified document subpoenaed by the Committee," Comer wrote in a statement. "The FBI's decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable."
"While I have a call scheduled with FBI Director Wray tomorrow to discuss his response further," Comer explained, adding, "the Committee has been clear in its intent to protect Congressional oversight authorities and will now be taking steps to hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena."
"Americans deserve the truth, and the Oversight Committee will continue to demand transparency from this nation's chief law enforcement agency," the chairman added.
