Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced on Wednesday that she would offer her articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray as a privileged resolution.
Greene’s announcement comes less than a day after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) offered her articles of impeachment of President Joe Biden as a privileged resolution.

“Christopher Wray spit in our faces and disrespected our Oversight Committee and our Chairman Comer by forcing us to see redacted versions of UNCLASSIFIED 1023 forms that gave proof of then VP Joe Biden taking a $5 million bribe,” Greene tweeted.
“I’m turning my Articles of Impeachment on Wray into a privileged resolution. Wray is a bad cop hiding Joe Biden’s crimes and must be held accountable. I won’t tolerate this level of disrespect and pure criminal corruption,” she continued.
By turning the resolution into a privileged resolution, House procedures will dictate that the resolution should be voted on by the chamber within two days, even without the approval of House leadership.
Greene introduced the articles of impeachment against Wray last month as part of her “impeachment week,” in which she introduced articles against several Biden administration officials and the president.

“Not only has Director Wray persecuted political opponents in an unprecedented and partisan way, but he has also overseen his agency take actions to shield and protect the current President and his family. A senior FBI official left the agency under a cloud of accusations that he shielded a laptop belonging to the President’s son, Robert Hunter Biden, from a criminal probe,” Greene said in a statement when introducing the articles of impeachment in May.
“It is unacceptable for the Director of the FBI or any civil officer to exercise his power in a way that targets one political class while doing favors for the other,” the statement continued.
