‘Financially Illiterate’: James Comer Rips Corporate Media For Downplaying $40,000 Check Biden Received

Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky ripped journalists for downplaying a check President Joe Biden received by saying it was repayment of a personal loan.

Comer released the $40,000 check made out to Biden by his sister-in-law Sara Biden following a series of transfers from a Chinese company. CNN reporter Daniel Dale wrote an Oct. 31 “fact check” that claimed evidence supported Democrats’ assertions that a $200,000 check released by Comer Oct. 20 was used to repay a personal loan.

“The Democrats on the Oversight Committee called CNN and NBC into their office and said we have documents to prove this is a loan,” Comer told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. “They came in there and showed them a copy of the check, same one that Fox Business and Fox have shown on the screen and in the memo section it says loan repayment. They said, see, loan repayment, that’s evidence that it was a loan. And, you know, NBC and CNN, oh, well that is good enough for me. I mean, that’s how financially illiterate the reporters are with CNN and NBC.”
