Former FBI Director James Comey is mounting a court challenge to a subpoena from House Republicans who want his closed-door testimony about alleged bias at the Justice Department and FBI, The Hill reported Thursday.
The news outlet reported Comey filed a motion in federal court in Washington, D.C., to quash a subpoena from the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees for his testimony Dec. 3.
He had warned he would fight the subpoena on the same day he got it.
"Happy Thanksgiving," he tweeted Nov. 22. "Got a subpoena from House Republicans. I'm still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions. But I will resist a 'closed door' thing because I've seen enough of their selective leaking and distortion. Let's have a hearing and invite everyone to see."
House Republicans want Comey's testimony as part of their inquiry into allegations of bias at the Justice Department and FBI ahead of the 2016 elections.
