This week, the Congressional Integrity Project has sent a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics requesting the office immediately investigate Comer’s recent fundraising campaign, where he is directly tying his official chairmanship position to fundraising efforts. Since becoming chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Comer has repeatedly used the official impeachment inquiry to solicit campaign contributions, most recently linking the Oversight Committee’s efforts to obtain audio files from Special Counsel Robert Hur with the 2024 election.

Washington Examiner: Comer must face ethics investigation for Biden inquiry fundraising: Democratic group. “The Democratic-aligned Congressional Integrity Project sent a request to the Office of Congressional Ethics to determine whether Comer violated House rules by soliciting campaign donations in messaging directly related to his impeachment investigation, according to a letter first shared with the Washington Examiner. Doing so, the group argued, would violate House rules that state solicitations for campaign or political contributions cannot be linked to official duties. ‘James Comer cares more about filling his war chest than serving the needs of his constituents,’ Kyle Herrig, executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project, said in a statement. ‘His disastrous reign on Oversight has all been to help two people first and foremost: himself, and Donald Trump. He cannot be trusted to conduct legitimate Oversight while using the Committee and its actions as his own personal campaign advertisement.’” [Washington Examiner, 5/23/24]
