Republicans and Democrats Clash Over Investigations Into GOP Donors
-
House Republicans are trying to protect billionaire GOP donors Leonard Leo and Harlan Crow from investigations into potential wrongdoing.
-
Jordan and Comer threatened to subpoena DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb for investigating Leo. Senate Republicans boycotted a vote to subpoena Leo and Crow.
-
Republicans claim the issues are different - Biden allegedly sold political access, while the donors simply provided "hospitality."
-
Democrats argue it's hypocritical to defend lavish gifts for Thomas while attacking Biden over unproven accusations.
-
To Democrats, it shows Trump's influence - Republicans refuse to take a stand against any figure on the right despite allegations.
