Washington D.C. – Today, the New York Times exposed shocking new information about James Comer. Comer admitted to the New York Times that he has a history of leaking hacked materials for political purposes – to attack his former girlfriend who had accused him of abuse. In response, Congressional Integrity Project executive director, Kyle Herrig, issued the following statement:
“Today’s revelations are shocking: James Comer admitted to stealing a server, hacking emails, and leaking them in a brazen attempt to intimidate a former girlfriend who credibly accused him of abuse and a blogger making her accusations public. Comer has no credibility or moral authority to investigate others. It’s his actions which should be looked into and should be the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation. Comer should come clean about his past dirty tricks, in light of using the same tactics to shamelessly attack Biden and his family to score political points, and admit he isn’t investigating the Trump family for political reasons.”
