Overview

• A Washington-based ethics watchdog group has accused Rep. James Comer of attempting to profit from his role in the failed impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden by negotiating a book deal.
• The Congressional Integrity Project has requested an investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics into whether Comer sought approval for the reported book deal, as required by House rules.
• Comer's impeachment efforts, largely based on discredited allegations, have failed to produce evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden, leading to criticism of the inquiry as politically motivated.
• Former Rep. Ken Buck criticized his GOP colleagues for promoting unsubstantiated claims about Biden, highlighting the impeachment's reliance on discredited sources.
• The impeachment inquiry and related controversies, including the potential book deal, reflect broader tensions within the GOP and concerns about the politicization of congressional oversight.
