Republicans claim an internal FBI memo reveals President Joe Biden was involved in a $5 million criminal conspiracy with a foreign national.
The FBI has one day to send over the document, or else contempt of Congress procedures will start.
FBI Faces Contempt of Congress Threat as Deadline Approaches
The Republicans have claimed and issued a subpoena for the internal unclassified FD-1023 form, which allegedly describes an arrangement for an exchange of money for policy decisions.
The House Oversight Committee, headed by Rep. James Comer, gave FBI Director Chris Wray a strict May 30 deadline to turn over the unclassified FD-1023 document, failing which it threatened to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings.
A spokeswoman confirmed to DailyMail.com that Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley will also speak via phone with Wray on Wednesday.
But, the legislators have stated that they do not expect the document to be given to them by the bureau’s top officials.
By including two new phrases that may be used in the record—June 30, 2020, and five million—Comer last week informed Wray that he was also reducing the scope of the subpoena for the document.
The FBI’s goal is to keep the American public safe. In response to a query last week about whether it would be willing to pass over the FD-1023 form, the FBI said: “Releasing sensitive source information could possibly compromise investigations and put lives at risk.”
Comer’s investigators, who are looking into allegations of influence-peddling by the first family, met last week with bureau representatives who were withholding the material.
After speaking with Wray the previous day, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy claimed he was confident Republicans will “get this document” as a result of their talk.

Bribery Claim Targets President Biden in Oversight Committee Investigation
The chairman is allegedly basing his assertions on an unsubstantiated tip, according to a spokesperson for the committee Democrats, who also charged Comer of engaging in the political theater to boost the former president Donald Trump’s primary polling results.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) is aware that Joe Biden allegedly reportedly requested a bribe, though he is unable to confirm it.
Republicans will try to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, Comer said this week, if the bureau won’t confirm or deny the unexplained claim, despite Comer’s constant promotion of the bribery rumor.
It’s the most recent installment in the chairman of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the president’s family.
As of now, the investigation has allegedly discovered shell companies that were transferring foreign funds to family members involved in Hunter Biden’s schemes for personal enrichment, beginning at the conclusion of his father’s vice presidential term and continuing while Joe Biden was out of office.
