House Republicans withdraw contempt vote against FBI director after document sharing agreement.

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans have cancelled a vote to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt after the bureau offered to let all committee members review a 2020 document at the center of the standoff. The document allegedly ties then-Vice President Joe Biden to a "bribery scheme," but the FBI has warned that it contains unverified information. The deal is in line with a bar set by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who said repeatedly that if Wray let the whole panel see the document, there would not be a need to hold a vote on holding the FBI director in contempt.
