FBI willing to allow all House Oversight Committee members to view Biden doc alleging criminal scheme: source
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is set to begin contempt of Congress hearings Thursday for FBI Director Christopher Wray

The FBI is willing to allow all members of the House Oversight Committee to view the subpoenaed document that alleges President Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.
The source familiar said all members of the panel would be able to view the document in question — an FBI-generated 1023 form — in a secure location. It is unclear whether the secure location would be in a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) on Capitol Hill or at the FBI's headquarters.
The offer comes as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is set to begin contempt of Congress hearings against FBI Director Wray on Thursday for failing to comply with the committee's subpoena for the document.
The document allegedly describes a $5 million criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.
The FBI brought the FD-1023 form to Capitol Hill on Monday for Comer and ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., to review in a secure SCIF, resulting from a back-and-forth between committee Republicans and the bureau over whether it was in compliance with his subpoena.
The FBI initially offered to allow Comer to review the document at FBI headquarters, but amid Comer's threats to hold Wray in contempt of Congress, the bureau offered additional accommodations to bring the physical document to Capitol Hill.
