Rep. James Comer joined Joe Pags ahead of President Trump’s highly anticipated joint congressional address, revealing that IRS whistleblowers will be in attendance as honored guests. Comer, who has been a vocal advocate for whistleblowers, emphasized their critical role in exposing corruption and ensuring accountability. “We need whistleblowers to come forward and we need them to tell the truth,” he said, adding that they deserve recognition for their courage in stepping up.
A major topic of discussion was Ukraine and President Zelenskyy’s tense meeting with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance last Friday. Comer said Zelenskyy “learned the hard way there’s a big difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump,” following President Trump’s decision to pause military aid to Ukraine. Comer doubled down on the need for Europe to contribute more, criticizing the continued expectation that the U.S. should foot the bill. Pointing to Ukraine’s reliance on American aid, he remarked, “They think they’re on the payroll from the United States,” making it clear that endless foreign funding is no longer on the table.
The conversation then turned to the Biden’s’ corruption, with Comer expressing confidence in the new leadership at the Department of Justice. With Kash Patel as FBI Director and Pam Bondi as Attorney General, Comer believes real accountability is finally within reach. “We all know they did it… but we didn’t have a DOJ that would do anything about it. Now we do,” he said. He also suggested that former President Joe Biden’s attempts at issuing pardons may not hold up in court, particularly under Bondi’s watch.
Comer assured Pags that the Oversight Committee’s investigations aren’t just for show. “These investigations are worthless unless they’re held accountable,” he stated, making it clear that figures like Hunter Biden will be facing depositions. He believes ongoing coordination with Bondi is key to ensuring legal action moves forward.
As President Trump prepares to address Congress tonight, Comer hinted that his speech could shake up Washington, especially with the presence of key whistleblowers who have firsthand knowledge of corruption. With mounting pressure on Biden and the DOJ under new leadership, accountability may finally be on the horizon.
