House plots bipartisan deal on Trump and Biden family finances

The Trump and Biden families are inspiring potentially bipartisan House legislation, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The House Oversight Committee's top leaders are seeking to channel intense partisan hostilities into reforms for classified documents and presidential family finances.

"There are seeds of real legislative promise," Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, told Axios.

Driving the news: Oversight committee staff are working on legislation to require more financial disclosure from presidential family members and reform the National Archives process for recovering classified documents at the end of presidential administrations, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

"I think those are the two biggest areas ... where there's an opportunity for bipartisan legislation," House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told Axios.
