Comer Blasts Democrats Over 250th-Birthday 'Hijacking' Claims as 55-Page Report Targets Trump

Summary
James Comer said Democrats' attacks on President Donald Trump's America 250 celebration were "anti-American" and driven by hatred of Trump rather than concern about the July 4 event.
A 55-page report from Rep. Jared Huffman accused Trump of turning the semiquincentennial into a partisan spectacle, using Freedom 250 LLC to sell access, divert donor money and enrich allies through contracts.
Comer rejected the allegations as politically motivated and said House oversight under Republicans is focused on waste, fraud and abuse, not what he called harassment of Trump.
Democrats have signaled the celebration could face investigation if they retake the House in November, making the America 250 dispute an early front in the next congressional oversight fight.
