Comer fundraises off Biden claiming executive privilege over Robert Hur interview tapes

Published May 17, 2024 1:20pm ET



House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is fundraising off of President Joe Biden‘s assertion of executive privilege as Republicans attempt to get their hands on tapes of special counsel Robert Hur‘s interview with the president.

In an email obtained by the Washington Examiner, Comer says that Biden and his advisers are “terrified” of the audio recordings from the interview, centered on Biden’s handling of classified documents, because their release would force them to answer for “the dismal decline of Biden’s mental state.”
