House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) accused Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of covering up President Joe Biden’s alleged corruption on Tuesday evening.
In an appearance on Fox News, Comer told host Laura Ingraham he obtained evidence that the two senior Biden administration figures had attempted to cover up the Biden family’s allegedly corrupt business dealings, interfering with the House’s investigation.

“We believe there is coordination between the Department of Justice and the cover-up. There are two crimes here: the actual Biden corruption and then the cover-up,” Comer said.
“And all along the way, there have been people coordinating, people representing Hunter Biden, who were paying Hunter Biden. People who were representing him in court. People who were in trouble just like Hunter Biden for crimes. And they were communicating back and forth with our federal government to cover up this crime and to make sure that they could spin the false narrative.”
The Kentucky Republican then gave specifics, accusing Garland and Mayorkas of interfering with the House’s investigation in an effort to cover up the affair.

“We know Merrick Garland has told the National Archives not to cooperate with us,” Comer said. “We know that someone told the IRS whistleblowers to stand down. We know that just this week there were Secret Service agents who were working with us on trying to identify the people who tipped off the Biden legal team that the IRS was fixing to knock on the door, and our sources at the Secret Service say that Mayorkas called them to tell them to stop cooperating with Comer and the Oversight Committee. So Mayorkas and Merrick Garland are part of the cover-up. These are the two arguably highest-ranking people in the Biden administration.”
Comer’s investigation has gained steam in recent months, with the House Oversight Committee increasing the severity of its allegations against the Biden administration as it gathers more evidence. The House Republican said he believes an impeachment of the president will be in order soon.
