House plots bipartisan deal on Trump and Biden family finances​

Between the lines: The source of some of the most partisan, made-for-TV hearings in Washington is an unlikely venue for bipartisanship.

• Despite the two going toe-to-toe in televised hearings, Raskin, in an interview with Axios, characterized Comer as a "serious legislator" with whom he can work in good faith.
• "I know he also has to deal with a very potent and sometimes toxic MAGA wing within his caucus and ... his committee," Raskin said.

What they're saying: Comer told Axios he's hopeful about addressing "influence peddling" by family members of presidents.

• Democrats "complained about the previous administration and family members doing things crossing the line with our adversaries," he said. "I’m obviously complaining about it with this administration."
• Raskin said he is "certainly" on board with requiring disclosures from family members in federal jobs — i.e. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
• Raskin acknowledged a "structural problem where people conceivably could influence a president by influencing members of the President's family."

The big picture: Ethical and legal questions around Trump's family, business and foreign investments have long been a source of investigation and criticism from Democrats.

• The Democrat-led Oversight committee under Trump investigated the decision to grant security clearances to Kushner and foreign government spending at the Trump Hotel in D.C.
• Republicans and conservative media have made prime targets out of Hunter Biden and the president's brother, James Biden. They've raised concerns around the pair's financial and business transactions with foreign actors.
