House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he suspects foul play goes back decades among President Joe Biden’s family.
Comer appeared on Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) podcast Verdict in a two-part episode, the second half of which aired Friday. The Kentucky representative took questions surrounding his investigation into the Biden family’s business deals abroad, including in China, Russia, and Ukraine.

“I’m not shocked about anything,” Comer said of the investigation’s revelations so far. “I think Joe Biden has been selling access to our enemies for decades.”
Comer went on to claim the president has “always been cash-strapped” and also “never had a successful career in investing.” He gave those narratives as reasons for the alleged misdoings.
“Then you look at the assets he’s accumulated on a senate salary — it’s pretty, pretty impressive,” Comer said.
“So you’re saying a classic Corvette doesn’t buy itself?” Cruz joked about the president’s car.

This podcast episode comes two days after IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler appeared for a hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Committee. The two testified that Biden’s grandchildren were among the recipients of unexplained payments uncovered by investigators and could not provide reasons behind the payments.
Next week is the last week in the congressional session before its monthlong recess in August. In the meantime, Comer has issued subpoenas for witnesses the committee would like to depose.
