Later on Wednesday, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams in a series of X posts ridiculed and slammed House Oversight Committee chair James Comer’s claims about corruption inside the Biden family.

“Comer’s lies and conspiracy theories are getting more desperate by the day,” Sams said in one of his posts.

Sams cited fact-checking reports by The Messenger, CNN, and MSNBC that in both cases Biden was getting his money back after he loaned it to his brother while he was a private citizen between 2016 and 2020.
