The FBI will be delivering a subpoenaed document to Capitol Hill on Monday to be reviewed by lawmakers, according to sources. The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, describes a $5 million criminal scheme allegedly involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that was related to the exchange of money for policy decisions. The House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer threatened to hold the bureau in contempt of Congress unless they complied with the subpoena. The top Democrat on the committee, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., will also be reviewing the document in a secure location on Capitol Hill.

The FBI's decision to bring the FD-1023 document to Capitol Hill is a result of the subpoena Comer issued last month. The FBI did not comply with the subpoena by the May 30th deadline, but instead assured lawmakers that they could access the information in a secure setting at FBI headquarters. Comer proceeded to threaten FBI Director Christopher Wray with contempt of Congress proceedings. It's uncertain whether the document's physical presence on Capitol Hill will satisfy Comer's subpoena. The document follows a whistleblower's allegations regarding the FBI and Justice Department's possession of it.

Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Comer were both approached by the whistleblower. Grassley viewed the document at the FBI on Wednesday and said that if the document is turned over to Congress, lawmakers will make its contents public. Grassley refused to pass judgment on whether these accusations are correct or not. Comer, in response to FBI staff criticisms, attempted to narrow the breadth of the subpoena. The committee decided on additional terms derived from unclassified legally-protected whistleblower disclosures that may be referenced in the FD-1023 form.
