Bob Woodward told key Republican Biden was corrupt, new book claims Washington Post reporter said ‘everyone in DC’ knew Biden ‘allowed his family to sell access to him’, James Comer says.
In a new book, James Comer of Kentucky, the Republican chair of the powerful US House oversight committee, claims that in a private conversation the Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward told him “everyone in DC knew” Joe Biden was financially corrupt.
In the last Congress, Comer mounted investigations of the president, his surviving son, Hunter Biden, and other family members, seeking to prove longstanding rightwing claims of financial impropriety linked to foreign governments which the Bidens fiercely deny and which Republicans often mix with wild conspiracy theories.
“Woodward explained that everyone in DC knew that Joe allowed his family to sell access to him, but as far as he was aware, that was not illegal,” Comer writes.
Comer’s investigation of the Bidens might end up “bigger than Watergate”, Woodward reportedly added, though he also cautioned it could be “a big nothing burger” too.
