Ethics Watchdog Accuses Rep. Comer of Seeking Profit from Biden Impeachment Inquiry

The Congressional Integrity Project has called for an investigation into Comer's reported book deal negotiations amid failed impeachment efforts.

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.
