House Republicans Quietly Halt Inquiry Into Trump's Finances

House Republicans have quietly halted a congressional investigation into whether Donald Trump profited improperly from the presidency, declining to enforce a court-supervised settlement agreement that demanded that Mazars USA, his former accounting firm, produce his financial records to Congress.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, made clear he had abandoned any investigation into the former president’s financial dealings — professing ignorance about the inquiry Democrats opened when they controlled the House — and was instead focusing on whether President Joe Biden and members of his family were involved in an influence-peddling scheme. “I honestly didn’t even know who or what Mazars was,” said Comer, who was the senior Republican on the oversight panel during the last Congress, while Democrats waged a lengthy legal fight over obtaining documents from the firm.

“What exactly are they looking for?” Comer added in a brief statement to The New York Times on Monday. “They’ve been ‘investigating’ Trump for six years. I know exactly what I’m investigating: money the Bidens received from China.”

They are loyal. They are scared of him. They dont want to be primaried

He is the front line, the guy regularly and aggressively puts himself in the spotlight as often as he can get away with. That makes him the primary target, if he goes down focus is going to switch to other members of the party.

Sadly he represents a block of people that are just as dumb and uneducated as he is.

This is the new normal. Whichever party controls the House will investigate the opposing party's POTUS and ignore any possible bad things about their own.

Trump is a cause celebre to Republicans. It's not like they have any policies for running the country.
