Washington, D.C. – This morning, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer released his long-promised impeachment inquiry report, concluding his year-and-a-half-long investigation into President Biden that failed to uncover a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing by the President whatsoever. The report is riddled with the same debunked conspiracy theories, factual inaccuracies, and downright misinformation repeated by MAGA Republicans about the President for years.

In response, Congressional Integrity Project executive director Kyle Herrig said the following:

“James Comer’s Chairmanship of the House Oversight Committee has been a complete and utter failure.  Comer’s only priority as Chairman was to impeach President Biden to help Donald Trump,  yet he did not uncover a single shred of evidence whatsoever to justify his claims. Comer and his MAGA House cronies spent a year and a half investigating President Biden while ignoring the important priorities of hardworking Americans across the country, like the cost of living, access to health care, and more, all to do convicted felon Donald Trump’s bidding. 

Now that his investigation into President Biden has officially ended as an embarrassing disaster for the Trump cultists who pursued it, Comer and his fellow MAGA House Republicans have shifted their baseless political stunts to Vice President Harris and Governor Walz, continuing to use Congress as an arm of the Trump campaign and ignoring the important priorities of Americans across the country. Will wonders never cease.”
