House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he is prepared to advance contempt of Congress charges against Christopher Wray if the FBI director misses a May 30 deadline to hand Congress a document alleging a criminal scheme involving President Joe Biden.

“I personally called Director Wray and told him he needs to send that document, today’s the deadline,” McCarthy said during a May 30 appearance on Fox News. “Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now: If he misses the deadline today, I’m prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him.”
