FBI Director to Share Alleged Biden Bribery Scheme Document with House Oversight Leaders.
FBI Director Agrees to Bring Subpoenaed Document to Capitol Hill
The FBI Director, Christopher Wray, has agreed to bring a subpoenaed document from the investigation into the Biden family to Capitol Hill for legislators to examine. This is a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the allegations against President Joe Biden.
What’s in the Document?
The document in question, an FD-1023, allegedly contains uncorroborated allegations that President Joe Biden, while serving as vice president, engaged in a bribery conspiracy to alter United States policy in exchange for monetary gain to his family’s businesses. An FBI whistleblower informed Congress about the document and expressed concern that the allegations were never thoroughly investigated.
Legislators Allowed to Review the Documents
A spokesperson for House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) confirmed to The Epoch Times on June 2 that the lawmaker would be allowed to review the documents on June 5. Ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) will also be able to review the document, CNN reported.
Why is the Committee Insistent on Accessing the Document?
Comer and Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley demanded to see the document, and Comer subsequently issued a subpoena. Comer announced during an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on June 1 that he was drafting legislation to hold Wray in contempt of Congress. He spoke about a conversation he and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) had with Wray and the bureau’s lack of compliance with his congressional subpoena.
Speaking to the reason his committee is adamant about having access to the document, Comer said, “We knew what was in the 1023 form. Until we told Director Wray that, he never even admitted that the existed.”
Access to a Redacted Version Not Enough
Hannity explained that his understanding of a 1023 form is that it is “an allegation,” and in this case, Comer and Grassley believed it was a credible allegation based on the individual whistleblower who brought it to the lawmakers’ attention. The Fox News host also questioned why the lawmakers did not take advantage of the FBI director’s offer to see the document in a secured location.
Comer clarified that the previous offer would only allow the lawmakers access to a redacted version of the document, which Comer said is not sufficient to support his committee’s oversight responsibility. Comer said that his experience with getting documents from the FBI was that they were “all black,” indicating that too much information was redacted for the document to be helpful.
Conclusion
The controversy surrounding the allegations against President Joe Biden continues to unfold. With the FBI Director agreeing to bring the subpoenaed document to Capitol Hill, legislators will have the opportunity to examine the allegations and determine their credibility. This is a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
