The Republican-controlled House of Representatives launched an investigation into what they term Joe Biden’s weaponization of the federal government.
A select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government was set up on Tuesday after a vote and will launch a wide-ranging probe of Joe Biden’s administration.
The Republican who accuses Biden of weaponizing the FBI against Trump also wants to investigate claims that he pressured big tech companies to censor views in opposition to the White House policy.
The set-up committee will probe how the executive branch works with the private sector, nonprofit groups, and other agencies to facilitate action against American citizens.
The head of the oversight committee, Republican James Comer, vowed to expose the abuses committed by the unelected, unaccountable federal bureaucracy.
Meanwhile, concerns have been raised by Democrats about a provision that authorizes the committee to probe ongoing criminal investigations that fall outside the purview of congressional oversight. They have called it a violation of the separation of powers and very dangerous.
