FBI Head Christopher Wray Proposes Allowing James Comer Access to Suspected Biden Bribery Evidence.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has offered House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer the chance to privately review an informant file alleging President Biden was involved in bribery, after the FBI had refused to share the document following a May 3 subpoena from Comer. Wray confirmed the existence of an FD-1023 informant file from June 2020 accusing Biden of bribery and suggested an “in camera review” of the document. Comer, however, remains unsatisfied and indicated that the document standoff will continue as GOP leaders press for public disclosure of both the allegation and information about what the FBI did to review the claim. Meanwhile, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby denied on Wednesday that Biden is crooked in response to a question from The Post about a recent Harvard-Harris poll that found over 50% of the public – including a quarter of Democrats – believed “Joe Biden was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme.”
