Raskin said it was based on previous &#8220;allegations that went nowhere.&#8221; The White House has described Comer&#8217;s investigation as a &#8220;silly charade&#8221; intended to tarnish the president&#8217;s reputation and boost Republicans&#8217; poll numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Comer said the FBI &#8220;refused to hand over the unclassified record&#8221; to the Oversight panel, and that Republicans will follow through on initiating contempt of Congress proceedings against Wray. &#8220;At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee.
