The White House assailed the credibility of House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer Wednesday ahead of proceedings to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress related to a probe of Biden family financial dealings.
“In just a few short months, Comer and his MAGA Republican colleagues in Congress have torpedoed their credibility by repeatedly failing to deliver on much-hyped allegations,” the White House said in a memo. “Their fact-free wild goose chase continues to be a waste of taxpayer resources when House Republicans should instead be focusing on the real issues American families care about.”
The FBI has insisted it has been cooperative with Mr. Comer, noting that officials briefed him and ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, Maryland Democrat, on Monday and gave them a chance to review the document. The White House came out swinging in the memo, which outlines what it says are three examples of Mr. Comer failing to deliver after promising to reveal illegal activities by Mr. Biden and his family.
Mr. Sams accused Mr. Comer of going on a fishing expedition simply to make appearances on right-wing television outlets “so he can simply say ‘Biden’ and ‘bribery’ over and over again in the same sentence.”
