“Congress shouldn’t try to interfere with the [DOJ’s] investigations [into Biden]. I think sadly that’s what [Kentucky GOP Rep. James] Comer’s object is,” Schiff. “He showed no interest in investigating the far more serious situation with about 100 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago with evidence in the public domain of obstruction. Now he’s suddenly interested in investigating President Biden.”
“I think there’s so many stark contrasts [between Joe Biden and] Donald Trump on policy, on decency, on devotion to the truth,” He added separately.
