GOP Chair James Comer Accuses Democrat Jamie Raskin of Spreading Disinformation in Biden Family Investigation

Comer's probe suggests Biden accepted $200,000 from businesses via his brother; Raskin persistently counters investigation claims as a 'conspiracy theory' with insufficient evidence.

• Chair of the House Oversight Committee, Republican James Comer, accuses Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of spreading disinformation about the investigation into President Biden's financial activities, and demands a public apology.
• Comer, based on his investigation, alleges Biden accepted $200,000 from businesses via his brother James Biden, with documents revealing a settlement of small personal loans between the president and his brother during his vice presidency and presidential campaign.
• Rep. Raskin has consistently criticized the investigation, dismissing it as a 'conspiracy theory' and claiming Republicans lack substantial evidence against President Biden.
• The investigation by the Oversight Committee is also examining the business dealings of Biden's son, Hunter Biden, making it central to GOP efforts to impeach President Biden.
