House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has called on President Joe Biden to account for a $200,000 check he received from his brother, James Biden, in March 0f 2018.

The memo line for the 2018 check described a “loan repayment” by James Biden to his brother. In a letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel on Oct. 26, Mr. Comer called on the president’s legal representatives to show evidence of the underlying loan for which his brother was apparently reimbursing him.
