Comer Invites Biden To Testify Before House Committee

March 28, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Via press release from Rep. James Comer:

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today is offering President Joe Biden the opportunity to testify at a hearing in furtherance of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry and is calling on President Biden to answer questions about his participation in his family’s pay-for-influence schemes.

The Bidens received $15 million from China, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Romania and the Oversight Committee traced how $40,000 from CEFC, a Chinese government linked energy company, landed in Joe Biden’s bank account.

In the letter to President Biden, Chairman Comer confronts President Biden about his previous statements about his family’s business dealings—including claims his family did not make money in China, he never interacted with his family’s business associates, and he never discussed business with his family and their associates—and requests President Biden answer questions about the evidence obtained by the Committee that refutes his claims in order to provide the truth to the American people.

CNN reports: 



The White House has shot down the move as “a sad stunt.” Comer suggested the hearing occur April 16, but said he was willing to negotiate with the White House on a date that worked with the president’s schedule.

“Comer knows 20+ witnesses have testified that POTUS did nothing wrong. He knows that the hundreds of thousands of pages of records he’s received have refuted his false allegations,” White House spokesperson Ian Sams said. “This is a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment. Call it a day, pal.”

The invitation comes as House Republicans have failed to uncover any evidence of wrongdoing by the president, and as doubts have begun to grow within GOP ranks about the prospects of a Biden impeachment given the conference currently lacks the votes in their divided, narrow majority.
