Republicans Push for Release of Unverified Whistleblower Report Alleging Biden Crime Despite Warnings from Officials
- The FBI and DOJ refused to release an unverified whistleblower report alleging criminal wrongdoing by Joe Biden citing the need to protect confidential sources and ongoing investigations.
- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed the FBI for the report and threatened contempt proceedings against FBI Director Christopher Wray for not complying.
- Sen. Chuck Grassley insisted the report be made public though its accuracy is unknown and irrelevant to Republicans.
- The White House accused Republicans of political stunts to attack President Biden without evidence.
- The FBI agreed to show the report to Comer and the committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin, privately in a secure room though it’s unclear if that resolves Comer’s demand for public release.
