House Republicans have backed down from their threat to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress after viewing an unverified tip on a form known as an FD-1023 in a secure room on Capitol Hill.

Bill Cassidy that would have blocked his plan to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers making less than a certain amount.
