Christopher Wray

House Oversight and Accountability Committee leaders briefed by the FBI on the details of a tip into potential wrongdoing by President Biden disagreed on basic conclusions, including whether it’s part of an ongoing probe.

Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) vowed to continue with his plans to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt for failing to physically turn over the document lawmakers reviewed alongside agents during an hour and a half long briefing. The FBI called the move an unwarranted escalation.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has agreed to allow top members of the House Oversight and Reform Committee to view a subpoenaed document relating to the committee's investigation into President Joe Biden and his family.

A spokesperson from the committee told the Washington Examiner the document will be reviewed and that Chairman James Comer (R-KY) will receive a briefing from the FBI on Monday.

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday offered to let House Oversight Chair James Comer view an internal law enforcement document at FBI headquarters that Republicans believe will shed light on an allegation that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal scheme with a foreign national, the chairman said in a statement.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said no deal Wednesday after FBI Director Christopher Wray offered to let him privately review an informant file alleging President Biden was involved in a bribery scheme, while vice president.

A source familiar with Wray’s early-afternoon call with Comer (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told The Post that the FBI chief confirmed the existence of an FD-1023 informant file from June 2020 accusing Biden of corruption and offered Comer and committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) “in camera review” of the document.

FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed the existence of a document alleging then-Vice President Joe Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer said.

However, Comer said in a statement that Wray still did not commit to producing these documents, which have been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee.

A top House Republican investigator threatened Christopher Wray with a contempt charge after the FBI director repeatedly refused to hand over, or confirm the existence of, a bureau form that allegedly describes a “criminal scheme” involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and an unnamed “foreign national.”

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who is conducting an investigation into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, sent a Wednesday letter to Wray threatening to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings if the FBI chief does not cooperate.

FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed Tuesday that the bureau believes the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a lab leak in China. (Watch the video below.)

“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” Wray told Fox News’ Bret Baier.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has said that the bureau believes Covid-19 most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab.

"The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident," he told Fox News.

It is the first public confirmation of the FBI's classified judgement of how the pandemic virus emerged.

Many scientists point out there is no evidence that it leaked from a lab.

And other US government agencies have drawn differing conclusions to the FBI's.

FBI agents, as well as U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, are experiencing an uptick in death threats in the wake of the raid at former President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to sources speaking with Fox News. 

Authorities monitoring social media posts are spotting a significant increase in death threats aimed towards agents, Wray and Garland. These threats are reported to continue at a steady pace online. 

The FBI’s surprise search of former President Trump’s residence has raised unanswered questions and engendered wide speculation. Here is a guide for the perplexed.
