Jordan threatens FBI’s Wray with contempt of Congress
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) threatened Monday to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress for what he claims is the agency’s “wholly inadequate” compliance with two subpoenas issued earlier this year.
“We write to notify you that if the FBI does not improve its compliance substantially, the Committee will take action — such as the initiation of content of Congress proceedings – to obtain compliance with these subpoenas,” Jordan said in a letter to Wray, giving the FBI a deadline of July 25 at 12 p.m. to hand over the documents before the committee will “take action.”
