The good news: James Comer managed to briefly put aside his preoccupation with Hunter Biden. The bad news: Comer instead focused on President Biden's other son. (via MaddowBlog)
Last fall, the day House Republicans learned that they’d secured a majority in the wake of the 2022 midterm elections, Rep. James Comer held a press conference for a specific reason: The GOP congressman, who’d soon lead the House Oversight Committee, saw an opportunity to talk about his Hunter Biden conspiracy theories.
The underlying story is a little convoluted, but it involves U.S. Attorney David Weiss — who was appointed by Donald Trump — who prosecuted a Biden donor who made illegal contributions. There’s no evidence that the president or his team knew anything about the donor’s efforts, but Comer nevertheless appeared on a far-right podcast this week to argue, for reasons unknown, that Beau Biden — the former Delaware attorney general who died of brain cancer in 2015 — was caught up in the controversy.
