No congressional committee had announced a hearing specifically on the declassified Comey-era FBI memos by August 21, 2026. On August 5, the White House's Government Transparency Task Force released memos detailing a previously undisclosed FBI counterintelligence investigation, codenamed "Oxferd Comma," opened after James Comey's May 2017 firing to examine whether Trump was "directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with" Russia. The memos showed the case was closed in April 2019, shortly after Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report found no established coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. An administration official said the task force was forwarding declassified material to Congress as it was identified, and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan discussed the documents publicly on August 16, characterizing them as evidence of FBI weaponization, but no committee scheduled or announced a dedicated hearing on the memos in the two-and-a-half weeks after their release. The community was evenly split at 50 percent yes on two votes, reflecting genuine uncertainty that ultimately resolved toward no formal hearing announcement by the deadline.
