“House Republicans spent years ignored or drowned out in a Democratic Congress, but revelations about President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents handed two of his fiercest critics ammunition to investigate just as they became committee chairmen,” USA Today reports.
“Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has already drawn the spotlight with rapid-fire questions pelting Democratic witnesses during hearings investigating former President Donald Trump. Now he leads the Judiciary Committee and a special subcommittee created to investigate the Biden administration, where he can set the agenda.”
“Rep. James Comer of Kentucky argued for greater scrutiny of the Biden family’s business dealings even before winning the gavel of the Oversight and Accountability Committee. He and Jordan each pledged aggressive oversight on a variety of subjects even before they were sworn in, after the 2022 midterm election handed control of the chamber to Republicans.”
