FBI surrenders, to show Biden bribery memo to lawmakers.
FBI to Bring Biden Bribery Memo for Lawmakers to Review
The House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer, will review a document containing allegations about President Joe Biden on Monday, in response to the committee’s demand. Last month, Comer and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley demanded that the FBI produce an FD-1023 form from 2020, which describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. The FBI and Comer’s panel have gone back and forth over the document, with Comer vowing to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if the document is not produced.

The FBI has notified Comer that it will bring the document to the Capitol, where it can be reviewed in a secure space. The review is now scheduled for Monday. The Oversight Committee said in a statement that it does not view Monday’s meeting as full compliance with its demands. The statement said that anything short of producing the FD-1023 form to the House Oversight Committee is not compliance with the subpoena. The FBI said in a statement that it was trying to meet the needs of lawmakers while balancing the need to protect sources, noting that the document requested contains allegations that have not been verified.
Grassley Rebukes FBI
Grassley rebuked the FBI for not merely handing over what was requested, according to the New York Post. “While the FBI has apparently leaked classified information to the news media in recent weeks, jeopardizing its own human sources, it continues to treat Congress like second-class citizens by refusing to provide a specific unclassified record,” he said. Speaking to Newsmax, Comer said the country named in the FBI document “was a country that we haven’t discussed yet” after China, Romania, and Ukraine were all suggested.
Comer Calls for Investigation
Comer called the nation in question that the document allegedly links to Biden an “adversarial country.” He said, “It is another country that we’ll be discussing further. We’re trying to track down some new bank account. I tell people: The most reputable country that I have found that the Biden family was taking money from is China, if that tells you anything.” Comer has called for further investigation into the matter.

The FBI has agreed to bring the Biden bribery memo for lawmakers to review. The document contains allegations about President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. The review is scheduled for Monday, and the Oversight Committee has called for further investigation into the matter.
