“Just like every other witness in Chairman Comer’s ‘clueless investigation’ – that even House Republicans are calling a ‘parade of embarrassments’ and ‘a disaster’ – Mervyn Yan testified to the Committee today that he has no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden and that, to his knowledge, President Biden was not involved in, did not profit from, and took no official actions in relation to his family’s business dealings. Further undercutting Republicans’ lies about President Biden, Mr Yan testified that he never once did business with or had any personal or professional communication with President Biden,” writes Congressman Jamie Raskin in a statement.

“Chairman Comer’s allegations have been disproven time and again, as he ‘continues to embarrass himself and House Republicans.’ Yet, House Republicans have spent 13 months and millions of tax dollars in feckless pursuit of political revenge demanded by former President Donald Trump.”

“According to Republican investigators, these transcribed interviews and depositions are supposed to be central to closing out 13 months of ‘clueless investigation’ into President Biden, and I think they are right: Every single witness called by House Republicans has refuted their increasingly desperate and outlandish efforts to smear President Biden. It is time to end this slapstick comedy of an investigation and instead focus on delivering for the American people. If my Republican colleagues are interested in a private citizen’s business with CEFC, then surely they must be distressed that an American President, Donald Trump, collected at least $150,000 from CEFC and more than $5.5 million from the Chinese government and Chinese state-owned enterprise while sitting in the Oval Office and presiding over the federal government,” Raskin concluded, plainly enjoying The Messenger’s Wednesday story about how sick Republicans are of Comer’s failures.
