New: Comer wins, Wray caves on Biden bribery-allegation memo

Facing a potential contempt of Congress vote, FBI Director Christopher Wray relented and has agreed to bring a subpoenaed document from the Biden family investigation to Capitol Hill for lawmakers to inspect on Monday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced Friday.

The document in question, an FD-1023, contains uncorroborated allegations that an informant provided the FBI in June 2020 alleging that Joe Biden, when he was vice president, was engaged in a bribery scheme to change US policy in return for $5 million to his family’s businesses, lawmakers have said. …

As recently as Wednesday, Wray indicated he would not turn over the document in compliance with the subpoena, but would let lawmakers come read it at the FBI. But a deal was struck late Thursday for the FBI to bring the document to the Capitol, officials said.

[I suspect that Comer had a copy of the FD-1023 all along, and knows exactly what it says. The effort to get Wray to surrender it is so that Comer can publicly discuss that knowledge without having to explain the chain of custody in a way that would necessitate identifying the whistleblower publicly. — Ed]
