Comer will hold Christopher Wray in contempt as FBI won't share Biden bribe tip
 [NYPOST] House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Tuesday he will move to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress after he again refused to share an informant file that allegedly implicates President Biden in a $5 million bribery scheme.Comer (R-Ky.) set a final compliance deadline of Tuesday, which the FBI made clear it would not meet. "Today, the FBI informed the Committee that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee," Comer said. "The FBI’s decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable. "While I have a call scheduled with FBI Director Wray tomorrow to discuss his response further, the Committee has been clear in its intent to protect Congressional oversight authorities and will now be taking steps to hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena," Comer added. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... (R-Calif.) promised Tuesday morning that he will lead Republicans in voting to hold Wray in contempt if he refuses to provide the informant file, which McCarthy said could be redacted to protect highly sensitive informant information.
