Congressional Integrity Project July 31 – August 4, 2023 Summary

Aug 4, 2023

This week, Congressman Dan Goldman joined the Congressional Integrity Project in a press call to discuss the past seven months of failed investigations conducted by the House Oversight Committee, including Monday’s testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business associate, Devon Archer. Goldman also discussed the news of Donald Trump’s latest indictment over his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election and the events leading up to the January 6th attack on our Capitol.

As the only member to stay for the entirety of the transcribed interview, Congressman Goldman is uniquely positioned to provide a full and accurate picture of Devon Archer’s testimony – namely, that Archer did not provide “…a shred of evidence of a single conflict of interest of President Biden ever doing anything in connection or in relation to Hunter Biden’s business ventures.” Archer’s testimony is just the latest in a series of overpromising and under-delivering from James Comer and House Republicans.

Congressional Integrity Project also released a new report following the news of Donald Trump’s latest indictment. The report, titled House Republicans Weaponize Congress Against Our Justice System To Defend Former President Trump From His Criminal Indictments, and Appease the MAGA Base, At All Costs, details how James Comer, Jim Jordan, and their fellow MAGA Republicans have used their positions to try to obstruct the legitimate investigations into their leader Donald Trump.

In case you forgot, James Comer is corrupt and can’t stop lying.

Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, testified behind closed doors to the House Oversight Committee as part of their ongoing investigation targeting President Biden. As expected, his testimony was nothing but another embarrassing failure for James Comer and Jim Jordan.

New campaign finance disclosures revealed that Jared Kushner’s father recently donated a million dollars towards Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, but James Comer is still silent about the corrupt activities of Trump’s family.

USA Today: ‘They’re trying to deflect’: Democrats link GOP push to impeach Biden to Trump indictments. “Democratic strategist Leslie Dach, a former Obama administration official who is advising a group that is focused on defending Biden in House investigations, pointed to Trump’s comparison of his first impeachment to the allegations Republicans have levied against Biden. ‘Trump is very clear, as he always is, it is always about him,’ Dach, a senior advisor to the Congressional Integrity Project, said. Dach said he sees a direct correlation between Trump’s comments and House Republicans’ support for a possible impeachment inquiry into Biden. ‘I think it’s very clear that Trump is calling a lot of the cards on this, pushing impeachment, both directly and because his allies want to defend them and distract from his legal problems,’ Dach said.” [USA Today, 7/31/23]

No proof, no facts, no evidence, no matter what they want to say [or] how they want to spin it,’ Goldman said during a conversation with the Congressional Integrity Project on Wednesday. ‘There’s no evidence from witnesses or documents that Joe Biden had any connection to Hunter Biden’s business dealings overseas.’” [Washington Examiner, 8/2/23]
