Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, has asked the FBI to make public evidence that would confirm that President Joe Biden is not under federal investigation for bribery.

On Friday, Raskin wrote a letter (pdf) to FBI Director Christopher Wray, asking him to confirm in writing the non-classified information provided to himself and Comer at the briefing.

“The statements made by the FBI are critical to fully assess the credibility and validity of the double hearsay allegations set forth in the Form FD-1023,” Raskin wrote, requesting that the FBI “reiterate in writing” and provide by June 23 the evidence the agency has provided to him and Comer.

Raskin suggested the reason he’s asking for the public disclosure of the evidence is to confirm that Biden is not under investigation by the FBI on bribery allegations and so to counter claims made by Comer that the agency may, in fact, be continuing its FD-1023 investigation.

“At no point during the briefing did the FBI state or suggest in any way that ‘Joe Biden is currently under investigation for bribery,'” Raskin wrote, citing Comer’s words from a June 11 interview on Fox News.
