Comer Accused Biden Of The Same Shell Game He Uses Himself

James "Gomer" Comer is of the largest landholders near his rural Kentucky hometown, and he documented nearly all of his landholdings on congressional financial disclosure documents – roughly 1,600 acres. But there are 6 acres that he bought in 2015 and co-owns with a longtime campaign contributor where he transferred his ownership to Farm Team Properties -- a shell company he happens to co-own with his wife.

Interviews and records reviewed by The Associated Press provide new insights into the financial deal, which risks undercutting the force of some of Comer’s central arguments in his impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. For months, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and his Republican colleagues have been pounding Biden, a Democrat, for how his relatives traded on their famous name to secure business deals.

In particular, Comer has attacked some Biden family members, including the president’s son Hunter, over their use of shell companies that appear designed to obscure millions of dollars in earnings they received from shadowy middlemen and foreign interests.
