FBI doesn’t follow GOP subpoena for document on alleged Biden bribery.

The FBI Refuses to Comply with Subpoena Alleging Biden’s Involvement in Bribery Scheme

New Evidence Revealed in Oversight and Accountability Committee Probe

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee subpoenaed FBI Director Christopher Wray on May 3 for an FD-1023 form that allegedly implicates President Joe Biden in a pay-to-play bribery scheme. The FBI was given until May 10 to turn over all FD-1023 forms created or modified in June 2020 that contain the word “Biden” to the committee. However, the FBI declined to comply with the committee’s order.

Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) expressed his frustration with the FBI’s lack of cooperation, stating, “It’s clear from the FBI’s response that the unclassified record the Oversight Committee subpoenaed exists, but they are refusing to provide it to the committee. That is unacceptable. We plan to follow up with the FBI and expect compliance with the subpoena.”

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) also expressed his disappointment with the FBI’s response, noting that their offer to provide an accommodation process in response to their legitimate request indicates the document is real. Grassley also raised questions as to whether the bureau has an open investigation into the allegations against Biden.

At a press conference held earlier that day, Comer presented new evidence the Oversight and Accountability Committee had discovered in its probe of the Biden family’s alleged “influence peddling.” Chief among the committee’s revelations was the fact that members of the Biden family had received more than $10 million in payments from foreign entities, and many of those payments were made during Biden’s time as vice president.

“From a historical standpoint, we’ve never seen a presidential family receive these sums of money from adversaries around the world,” Comer said.
