(DCNF)—House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is zeroing in on a new target after spending the last two years probing the Biden family’s “influence-peddling” schemes.
Comer revealed the Committee will be laser-focused on seeking accountability from federal government employees across multiple agencies who put up roadblocks to the committee’s inquiries into the Biden family, in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Government bureaucrats that could be in committee’s crosshairs this Congress include FBI, Department of Justice, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) employees, according to the chairman.
“I want to hold these deep state actors accountable,” Comer said, referencing the federal government employees he believes are responsible for covering-up offenses committed by Hunter Biden and other members of the president’s family. “Because who’s to say they’re not going to do it again?”
The Kentucky Republican is casting a wide net of oversight targets for the following two years, acknowledging that the Committee’s focus could diverge across multiple agencies in uncovering instances of deep state actors hindering the committee’s past investigations.
“We need to hold those deep state actors accountable,” Comer reiterated multiple times to the DCNF. “Not just the ones that were responsible for censoring Twitter and Facebook and for putting out the letter from the 51 intelligence officials saying the [Hunter Biden] laptop was Russian disinformation. We need to hold those people accountable that told the IRS whistleblowers ‘No, you cannot talk to the Bidens anymore. Just drop the investigation. We’re going to let the statute of limitations expire.’”
“We need to hold those people in the Securities and Exchange Commission accountable who went after two of Hunter Biden’s partners, but not Hunter Biden in the same business deal,” Comer continued. “One goes to prison, one’s about to go to prison, and then one [Hunter Biden] was never even questioned.”
Comer’s sprawling investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings, partly through the testimony of IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, found that the FBI confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2019, nearly a year before deep state intelligence officials published a letter alleging the contents within Biden’s laptop to be “Russian disinformation.” The Oversight Committee’s investigation also exposed that the Biden Department of Justice prohibited the IRS whistleblowers from pursuing evidence that could have implicated President Joe Biden.
Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wrote a letter to SEC Commissioner Gary Gensler in June 2024 alleging that a 2016 federal securities investigation by the commission may have been discouraged from implicating Hunter Biden after his counsel warned the SEC not to draw “media attention” to then-Vice President Biden or his son.
Comer released a video Friday afternoon stating that he is looking forward to working with Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, and criticized outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray for the obstacles the committee faced from the bureau during the inquiry into the Biden family.

Comer also revealed that the newly-created DOGE Subcommittee, helmed by Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, will also be conducting oversight on federal government careerists and will likely haul them before the committee to testify, according to Comer.
“It’s not going to be a pleasant experience [for government bureaucrats],” Comer warns.
Though Comer acknowledged the committee’s extensive investigation into Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family will likely not continue into the 119th Congress, the Kentucky Republican is proud of the information he and his team were able to uncover despite cover-ups from deep state actors.
“The American people have seen the Bidens for who they are,” Comer told the DCNF. “You’ll never see Joe Biden hold a political office again and I’m pretty sure Hunter Biden has no political future either.”

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
