House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James R. Comer scrapped a Thursday meeting to hold the head of the FBI in contempt of Congress after securing more access to records related to accusations against President Joe Biden.
The committee announced late Wednesday that “the FBI caved under the threat of holding Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress” and all members of the panel would be able to review a record at the center of the dispute.
That accommodation fell short of Comer’s previous demand that the FBI hand over the unclassified record to the committee.
