House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) blasted the FBI for impeding the investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings, calling the federal agency “very patronizing.”
During a closed-door meeting on Monday, the FBI refused to hand over a subpoenaed form that allegedly details a “criminal scheme” involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and an unnamed “foreign national” regarding an exchange of “money for policy decisions.”

“I’ve asked for a phone call with Director Wray. We expect to get this document,” Comer told Jesse Watters Primetime. “Speaker McCarthy had a phone call with Director Wray. He demanded that they turn over this document. This is a very crucial piece of our investigation. And the reason that I think it’s very credible is this claim was made years before anyone knew about these different shell companies. And knew exactly what the Biden family did in countries like Romania and China to get money.”
Fox News host Jesse Watters questioned whether Congress’s efforts will be successful, suggesting the FBI does not respect Comer.
“They don’t respect anyone in Congress,” Comer said.
“What we’re going to have to do in this House is demand that the senators get our backs, like they are doing as we speak with these debt ceiling negotiations, and hold their budget hostage until they get new leadership at the FBI or they produce the documents that we want,” Comer added. “It’s not just this Form 1023. We also want to know what classified documents Joe Biden had in his possession because that’s an important part of our investigation.”

Comer suggested that if the FBI does not cooperate with the House Oversight Committee’s investigation, Republicans should look to have the alleged whistleblower behind the form come forward publicly.
