The 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”.

        Are you sure that’s the word you’re looking for? Because as far as I know, he just writes books.

          Isn’t this the schmuck who withheld trump interview details, about illegal or otherwise morally bad dealings, so he could write his stupid books and make money off of the info? Rather than idk, reporting it

            That’s not profiteering, especially when he is not under any legal obligation to reveal any details of any interviews he has with anyone.
