. SpeakerMcCarthy says he'll speak to FBI director about Hunter Biden probe document: 'We have oversight'
KEVIN MCCARTHY:
That's unacceptable. I'm going to call Director Wray today because we have oversight of the FBI. We have the right. [Rep. James] Comer is simply following information that he has found. We should find all the information.
in that direction? And why is foreign money coming from other countries while he's in office? What are they doing?Who has that many? And why would you hold that information back? You're protecting. You'd want all in the open. And as a member of Congress, it doesn't matter if this person is Republican or Democrat. We have oversight of the FBI. Ifat any time think they could withhold information from Congress, we have a severe problem on our hands.
Representative James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky and chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, left, speaks during a hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023. House Republicans plan to grill former Twitter executives over their alleged cooperation with the FBI to squelch the story of Hunter Biden's laptop, the opening salvo in their probe into the Biden family finances.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed the FBI for the document, which is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form after a whistleblower alleged that the FBI and Justice Department were in possession of it and claimed it detailed an"alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions."
