Rep. Austin Scott gives FBI Director Wray ultimatum: Either comply with Oversight order or ‘Congress has contempt vote’

Representative Austin Scott (R-GA) shares his opinion on the next moves Congress could make after FBI Director Chris Wray refused this week to comply with a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee. The Georgia Congressman says the U.S. Congress is an equal branch of government” to the FBI, “and constitutionally have the right to see the information that [House Oversight Chairman James Comer] has requested, the idea that the FBI Director gets to determine what Congress does and doesn’t get to see, that’s not acceptable.” Scott says that the choice that FBI Director Wray will be given is simple, he either complies with the order, “or Congress will have a contempt vote.”
