Just hours after informing Congress he wouldn't comply with a subpoena and turn over an informant document on the Biden family investigation, FBI Director Christopher Wray hopped on the bureau's Gulfstream jet and ferried off to the more friendly confines of Las Vegas.
The flight manifest for the FBI’s official jet shows Wray left the Washington suburb of Manassas, Va., at about 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday and landed about four hours later in Nevada’s most famous tourist city.
Agency officials said the jaunt was for official business and that Wray would be speaking to a conference of counterterrorism officials, meeting with the FBI’s Las Vegas field office, and attending a law-enforcement memorial ceremony.
"Director Wray is speaking to counterterrorism and law enforcement practitioners at a conference in Las Vegas to reinforce the continued importance of the counterterrorism mission and thank them for their service," the bureau's national press office in Washington told Just the News.
"He is also scheduled to meet with FBI employees from the Las Vegas Field office. There were changes made to the original itinerary to allow Director Wray to provide remarks at a 9/11 Line of Duty Death service on Friday."
The trip allows the FBI boss to escape an increasingly hostile atmosphere for himself in Washington, where congressional Republicans announced Wednesday that they would seek to hold Wray in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over a subpoenaed memo that lays out bribery allegations against President Biden.
The memo, known as a FD-1023 form, includes information provided to the bureau in June 2020 by a confidential human source alleging a bribery scheme involving Biden when he was vice president. Lawmakers learned about the existence of the memo from FBI whistleblowers.

Wray is a punk.
Contempt....jail the bastard.
He knows nothing will happen.
Nothing happened to Eric Holder when Congress cited him for “Contempt of Congress”.
Under 2 U.S.C. § 192, it is a misdemeanor offense to willfully refuse to answer any proper inquiry or to willfully evade any question in a congressional hearing. Upon conviction, the penalties specified in the statute include a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment for up to one year.
What court in DC is gonna convict Wray of anything?
Ha ha! And the joke is that you, McCarthy, and your filthy ilk just continued to pay for it.
Well, no, the jokes on us. We voted for you clowns because "if you don't vote republicrrns, the dermocrrrts win." And we're the ones paying.
Well, that would seem appropriate, considering law enforcement nowadays...
I despise Wray but this is a silly article full of nothing. The LinCT conference in Vegas is a huge gathering and there are several high-level LEO’s speaking over four days. He does not need to lock himself in his house.
Wray. Another in a long list of Trump’s less then stellar picks.
It is designed by a click vampire and the author did his job by maximizing clicks on a useless story. Can we please have more ‘non-stories’ to fill our day, and enrich the reporterettes with clicks? Thank you sir, many I have some more?
It’s ridiculous. And FReepers are all too happy to post these silly articles that literally say nothing.
Does anyone here know exactly what contempt of Congress means?
Are they going to withhold funds for the FBI?
BTTT
When is the pubbies strongly-worded letter to be delivered?
So, why isn’t this guy being hauled in for contempt of congress?
I think there was a must pass bill they did a day ago. Surely they put it in there, didn't they?
“Wray. Another in a long list of Trump’s less then stellar picks.”
I find it difficult to support him over this particular failing.
It’s just a misdemeanor, and DC judge would never find him guilty. Of anything.
actually now i think DJT is more than aware of bad picks and likely to avoid listening to Swampy advisors on appointments in round #2. on the other hand RDS will arrive without a DC coterie and be liable to plug in Swampsters to fill gaps. all an educated guess, of course
“...The flight manifest for the FBI’s official jet shows Wray left the Washington suburb of Manassas...”
Mexican drug cartels now have stinger missile launchers, thanks to Puppet Biden.
Just saying. /spit
