Wray STILL won’t turn over “1023,” will likely be held in contempt
I’ll give you the good news first: FBI Director Christopher Wray did show up on Capitol Hill on Monday as scheduled, and he had the “Form 1023” that House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer had subpoenaed.
Now the bad and totally unsurprising news: He still refused to turn it over to the Committee. Only Comer, as chairman, and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, invited by the FBI (???) to join him as the Democrat ranking member, were allowed to view it in a SCIF, or secure room. Comer was limited to note-taking. Also, as it turns out, they didn’t get to see/take notes on the full document. Touching on one of Comer’s biggest concerns, part of the document had indeed been classified, as they were told during a briefing, and it’s not clear if even Comer and Raskin were allowed to see the “classified” parts.

So now Comer says he’ll start hearings on Thursday to hold Wray in contempt of Congress. →
