White House rejects Comer’s remarks on FBI Biden briefing as a ‘baseless move’.

The White House Dismisses Allegations Against President Biden

“This is yet another fact-free stunt staged by Chairman Comer not to conduct legitimate oversight, but to spread thin innuendo to try to damage the President politically and get himself media attention,”

The White House has dismissed allegations made by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) regarding an FBI briefing into alleged wrongdoing by President Joe Biden. Comer claimed that the briefing proved the committee’s investigation was on to something and must be pursued further. However, Ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed the opposite, stating that the briefing showed no factual basis for the allegations against Biden.

The White House issued a response denouncing Comer’s statement as without basis and echoing Raskin’s comments. “As Sen. Grassley admitted, they aren’t ‘interested in whether or not the accusations are accurate,’ which rings even truer now that it’s been publicly reported that the Trump administration’s Justice Department looked into this claim three years ago and found nothing credible,” added Sams.

Comer’s Allegations

Comer claimed that the FBI briefing suggested that the Biden family was involved in money laundering. “The claims made in the document are consistent with what we found and disclosed to you all in Romania,” he said, referring to information he revealed last month suggesting several Biden family members had engaged in criminal activity. “It suggests a pattern of bribery where payments would be made through shell accounts and multiple banks. There’s a term for that: It’s called money laundering,” he continued.

Raskin’s Response

Raskin backed up the White House’s response, stating that there was no factual basis for the allegations against Biden, so the FBI had chosen not to pursue an investigation. “What we’re talking about here is a confidential human source reporting a conversation with someone else. So what we’re talking about is secondhand hearsay. And they did whatever investigative due diligence was called for in that assessment period, and they found no reason to escalate it from an assessment to a so-called preliminary investigation,” Raskin said.

The Washington Examiner reached out to Comer for comment.
