Both Donald Trump and President Biden improperly kept classified White House documents in their possession — but House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) has indicated that he’s only planning to investigate Biden.
“What’s different with Joe Biden is we’re investigating the Biden family for influence peddling,” Comer said, insinuating that Biden’s possession of documents could have been used to promote the business dealings of the Biden family over the years.
Brown then asked why he wasn’t giving Trump the same treatment, given that the former president’s business dealings are far more extensive than Biden’s and that there were much more documents in his possession. Comer said that he didn’t see any evidence that Trump had engaged in influence peddling — but later admitted that there was no evidence that Biden had engaged in influence peddling, either.
