Republican Rep. James Comer suggested during a right-wing podcast earlier this week that President Joe Bidens deceased son Beau Biden should have been investigated in connection with a long-settled case on campaign donations from a backer who was eventually indicted.
That suggestion from the newly appointed House Oversight Committee Chairman didnt sit well with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who called the comments ugly and inappropriate.
This U.S. attorney had an opportunity to go after the Bidens years ago, Comer said on former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs podcast. The high-ranking House Republican then continued: In fact, it was Beau Biden, the presidents other son, that was involved in some campaign donations from a person that got indicted, as well as Joe Biden was involved in some of these campaign donations when he was a senator, and then when he ran for president against Obama.
Comers attempted dig at Beau Biden stems from a 2012 case in which the Presidents son, then the attorney general of Delaware, recused himself. The investigation in question centered around a Joe Biden campaign donor who was illegally funneling contributions to Bidens campaign operation, according to The Washington Post.

This is pure President Biden baiting. And depending how Biden and the WH defend Beau's name the GOP will use that to contrast with Biden's defence of Hunter. IMHO

Yahoo didn't bother to mention this. WaPo buried it several paragraphs down. 🙄
