Comer jokes special counsel 'plagiarized' notes on Biden but put in Trump's name

In an interview on Fox News in the wake of former President Trump’s third indictment, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said he feels like the charges Trump is now facing mirror his committee’s own observations about President Biden.

“I feel like someone broke into our notes on the Oversight Committee and plagiarized them, only they put them down for Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden,” the Kentucky congressman told Laura Ingraham.

Comer went on to say Biden has damaged the American “system of government” and is causing a loss of trust in multiple government institutions like the FBI and Department of Justice. He said Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland are using the investigations for their own “self-preservation."

“That's the ultimate goal for the deep state bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.,” Comer said.

Trump was indicted Tuesday by a Washington grand jury on charges stemming from his efforts to retain power after losing the 2020 election.

The 45-page indictment from puts Trump at the center of efforts to block the transfer of power, charging him with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and other crimes.
