McCarthy to call FBI Director Wray after bureau rejects subpoena for Biden doc

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Thursday said he plans to call FBI Director Christopher Wray to address the bureau’s handling of a subpoena for a document that allegedly details a bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.

The bureau responded on Wednesday to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who had sought the document after revealing its existence earlier this month. In a letter to the lawmakers, the FBI declined to provide them with the documents, citing myriad privilege and security concerns but indicated it was prepared to work with them on the matter.

The letter appeased neither lawmaker and McCarthy soon joined them, calling the bureau’s response “unacceptable,” during an interview on “Fox & Friends.”

“I’m going to call Director Wray today because we have oversight of the FBI,” he said. “We have the right. [Rep. James] Comer is simply following information that he has found. We should find all the information.”

“Isn’t it quite interesting that foreign countries give millions of dollars to different LLCs that trace down to the entire Biden family, to grandchildren? What are they doing?” he went on. “Why are you hiding money in that direction? And why is foreign money coming from other countries while he’s in office? What are they doing?”

The lawmakers initially learned of the existence of the FD-1023 form via a whistleblower. It allegedly contains a “precise description” of the supposed scheme as well as the motivation behind it.

The document would be of critical interest to Republicans as they pursue myriad investigations into the Biden administration and the first family’s allegedly corrupt business dealings.
