OOPS: James Comer Also Paid His Brother $200,000

November 9, 2023 Republicans, Trump cultists

The Daily Beast reports:

House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) on Wednesday subpoenaed President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, who Comer has implicated in unsubstantiated allegations of “shady business practices” in the Biden family. Comer has in particular been trying to make hay out of two personal loan repayments from James Biden to his brother, for $40,000 and $200,000—with all transactions occurring in 2017 and 2018, when Joe Biden was neither in office nor a candidate.

But if Comer genuinely believes these transactions clear the “shady business practices” bar, he might want to consider a parallel inquiry into his own family. According to Kentucky property records, Comer and his own brother have engaged in land swaps related to their family farming business. In one deal—also involving $200,000, as well as a shell company—the more powerful and influential Comer channeled extra money to his brother, seemingly from nothing.

Read the full article. There’s much more, including the revelation that Comer’s family business “doesn’t appear to exist on paper.” And oh yeah, there’s also a conflict of interest angle related to his then-gig on the House agriculture committee.
