Critics Point Out Major Flaw In James Comer's Latest Accusation Against Joe Biden: 'Nice Work, Detective!'

House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer once again targeted President Joe Biden with an accusation that appears to be flawed.

What Happened: The recent claim alleges that President Biden received a $200,000 direct payment after his brother, James Biden, secured a business contract with a rural hospital operator. The payment was reportedly made in 2018, between the time Biden left the vice presidency and when he announced his presidential candidacy, MSNBC reported.

Comer and the GOP-led Oversight Committee publicly celebrated this finding. However, media reports paint a different picture of the available information. The money in question was a loan repayment from James Biden to his brother Joe, two years after the latter’s vice presidency.

Why It Matters: Comer has been on a nearly year-long quest to disclose evidence of illicit payments received by Biden prior to his presidency. However, his efforts, alongside his Republican allies, have yielded no substantial results so far.

Democrats, including Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), have dismissed the claim, with Swalwell sarcastically praising Comer for proving that “Joe Biden generously loaned his family money and they responsibly paid him back. Nice work, detective!”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the Oversight panel, further stated that the additional bank records do not show any involvement or profit on the part of President Biden from his family members’ business ventures. "The more than 1,400 pages of additional bank records just show what these witnesses and thousands of prior pages of records have already established: that the President was not involved in and did not profit from his family members' business ventures," Raskin said in a press statement.
