House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) made sure to line up an equal number of lawmakers from each side of the aisle to serve as co-sponsors when they joined forces on a White House ethics bill last month.

That careful balance soon fell apart, however, after three Democrats backed out of their previous commitments to support the bill — vanishing, Porter said, after the White House reached out to her colleagues.

There are 2 main “ethics” bills. Either one, in the current forms, would make Trump disclose more, but the Comer bill would force disclosures (which I bet Biden hates) of payments to relatives. After “discussions with the WH,” all the Dem sponsors of the Comer bill backed out.
