House Oversight Chair James Comer says he's drafting contempt legislation against FBI Director Wray

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Thursday that he is writing up the legislation to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress after the federal law enforcement agency refused to turn over a whistleblower document alleging that as vice president Joe Biden, was involved in a bribery scheme with a foreign national.

"I am drafting legislation to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress," Comer tweeted. He also said that the House Oversight Committee "will vote on this next week if the FBI continues to defy my lawful subpoena."

Wray attempted to defuse the situation on Wednesday by offering lawmakers the opportunity to visit the FBI headquarters and view the document in a private room. Republicans have said the offer is unacceptable.

"The FBI is not above Congress. I will protect congressional oversight authorities," Comer said.

Comer revealed Wednesday on Fox News that Wray would not admit that the whistleblower form even existed until he told Wray that he had already seen the form.
