EXCLUSIVE — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) could face an ethics investigation over allegations the Kentucky Republican is using his high-profile impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden for campaign fundraising.
The Democratic-aligned Congressional Integrity Project sent a request to the Office of Congressional Ethics to determine whether Comer violated House rules by soliciting campaign donations in messaging directly related to his impeachment investigation, according to a letter first shared with the Washington Examiner. Doing so, the group argued, would violate House rules that state solicitations for campaign or political contributions cannot be linked to official duties.
