Comer Accused Of Fake Quotes In His Coming Book

The Guardian reports:

Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward forcefully denied making statements attributed to him by James Comer, the Republican chair of the powerful House oversight committee, in which Woodward supposedly said Joe Biden was financially corrupt. “The statements attributed to me in what is apparently his book are false,” Woodward said. “I made none of those statements he attributes to me. I repeat none, and not even in a paraphrased form.”

Woodward said Comer was “peddling stories, conclusions and allegations that just do not check out at all”. Comer lays out his claims in a book, All the President’s Money: Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes That Made the Biden Family Rich, which will be published next week.The book is named in tribute to All the President’s Men, the seminal account of the Watergate scandal that Woodward wrote with Carl Bernstein.

Read the full article. Woodward says he has audio tapes of his interview with Comer to prove that the quotes are false.
