WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, will go before Congress on Thursday to explain his decision to recommend no criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, a House committee chairman announced Wednesday morning, as Republicans moved to capitalize on Mr. Comey’s stinging rebuke of the presumptive Democratic nominee and her handling of classified emails.

The F.B.I. did not immediately confirm that Mr. Comey would comply, but the announcement by Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, came after the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan, said that Mrs. Clinton should be barred from receiving classified information — an extraordinary recommendation even if it is certain to be ignored by the Obama administration.
