While those hearings are halted like all other House business, the mouths of its MAGA members continue to wag. For instance, James Comer, chairman of the Oversight Committee, has surfaced on Fox News with <em>&#8220;shocking&#8221;<\/em> new information that he thinks will sink the Biden presidency. It concerns a check for $200,000 from James Biden to his brother Joe.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The money came from Jim Biden where he influence peddled to a company in the United States that he went and said that he can help through his brother&#8217;s contacts get capital from the Middle East.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WOW &#8212; this is devastating news for Jim Biden&#39;s presidential hopes <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/znppSBozcG\">pic.twitter.com\/znppSBozcG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1715543745737773309?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Oh my! This would be catastrophic for President Biden were it not for the fact that Comer left out all of the facts that entirely undermine this alleged scandalette. In reality, Joe Biden had previously loaned James this money, and James was just paying it back. It actually says <em>&#8220;loan repayment&#8221;<\/em> on the memo line of the check. There is no evidence whatsoever of any link between the President and the company that had made a loan James. Nor is there any proof that the company benefited in any way resulting from the transaction.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Joe Biden was a private citizen at the time. He held no office of influence, nor was he a candidate. But that didn&#8217;t stop the scandal mongers of the GOP from peddling flagrant lies about Biden and this nonexistent impropriety.
