FBI has ONE DAY to turn over document linking Joe Biden to alleged $5 MILLION bribery scheme with foreigner or face contempt of Congressional proceedings: Inquiring Republicans have phone call with FBI this week -director
- FBI Director Wray has until May 30 to turn the FD-1023 form over to the committee or face a contempt of Congress charge against him
- Representative James Comer and Senator Chuck Grassley have confirmed that they will have a phone call with Wray on Wednesday
- Comer narrowed the scope of the subpoena last week to include the terms “June 30, 2020” and “five million”
The FBI has one day to turn over an internal document that Republicans say proves President Joe Biden was involved in a $5 million “criminal” scheme involving a foreigner or will begin proceedings for contempt of Congress .
The internal unclassified FD-1023 form apparently spells out an “arrangement” for an exchange of money for policy decisions, Republicans said, issuing a subpoena last month.
FBI Director Chris Wray was given a hard deadline of May 30 to hand over unclassified document FD-1023, or the House Oversight Committee headed by Rep. James Comer said it “will initiate contempt of congressional proceedings.”
Comer and Senator Chuck Grassley will also have a call with Wray on Wednesday, a spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com, but lawmakers have indicated it is unlikely the bureau’s chief executive will hand over the document.
Last week, Comer Wray informed that he was also narrowing the scope of the subpoena for the document by specifying two additional terms that could be referenced in the record: “June 30, 2020” and “five million.”
The House Oversight Committee released a new memo specifically outlining the Biden family’s ties to Romanian “influence peddling” and a web of LLCs while Biden was vice president
The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people. Releasing confidential source information could jeopardize investigations and endanger lives,” the FBI told DailyMail.com last week in a statement about whether it will hand over the FD-1023 form.
“The FBI remains committed to cooperating with Congressional oversight requests on these and other issues, as we have always done.”
Comer staff, who are leading the First Family’s “influence trading” investigation, met with bureau officials a week ago who refused to hand over the file.
The meeting came a day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he spoke with with Wray and believed Republicans would “get this document” after their talk.
A spokesperson for the Democrats committee told DailyMail.com last week that Comer is basing claims on a “baseless tip” and accused the chairman of using “political theater” to support former President Donald Trump’s primary polls.
The White House also pushed back, calling the Republican-led investigation “baseless” and “politically motivated.”
The FBI’s latest backstop also comes after a second whistleblower from the IRS came forward, claiming he was sidelined by the Hunter Biden investigation when he spoke about the president’s son receiving preferential treatment.
The agent, who has not been identified, says he was recently fired without explanation after working on the Hunter Biden investigation since 2018, according to documents sent to congressional leaders by DailyMail.com.
FBI Director Chris Wray has until May 30 to deliver the document to Republicans in Congress
“The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden may have engaged in a bribery scheme involving a foreigner,” Comer said.
This is the second whistleblower to report on the matter in recent days.
According to documents, he informed Congress last week about the backlash he was experiencing for acting as a whistleblower and alleged unfair retaliation.
He emailed senior IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel and several other officials last Thursday claiming he had been ousted for raising concerns that the Justice Department acted “improperly” in its handling of the investigation into the son of the president.
His complaint comes days after the Justice Department removed the entire team investigating Hunter Biden’s tax returns, according to attorneys representing a first-time oversight whistleblower: Gary Shapley.
Shapley testified for six hours Friday before the GOP-led Ways and Means Committee, answering all questions from both Republicans and Democrats, DailyMail.com learned.
