James Comer throws fellow GOP lawmaker under bus for witness who lied about Biden bribery

Raw Story  

Rep. James Comer downplayed using a witness who pleaded guilty to lying about a fake bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. "This was Chuck Grassley's witness," Comer said, shifting the blame to the Republican senator from Iowa. "I understand you're now trying to distance yourself, saying he wasn't a big part of the investigation, but I do want to play what was said at the time," Brown said before presenting a clip of Comer on Fox News. Brown wondered why Comer's effort to impeach Biden "failed" if Republicans had enough evidence to prove corruption. Changing the subject, Comer claimed Democrats "devalued" the impeachment process by successfully impeaching President-elect Donald Trump twice.
