100 days into their reign, Republicans have opened a flurry of inquiries as they push ahead with their agenda. Here are five of the top investigations House GOP opened after taking control of the lower chamber and where they currently stand.
Now, 100 days into their reign, Republicans have opened a flurry of inquiries and have held several hearings featuring testimony and evidence as they push ahead with their agenda. Top Republicans such as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan long expressed their intent to investigate Biden's White House on a variety of fronts, ranging from the southern border to Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The White House released its findings in a 12-page report on Thursday, detailing the Biden administration’s decision-making behind the chaotic withdrawal. The report placed much of the blame on the Trump administration, arguing the former president had severely limited Biden’s options.Republicans have also set their focus on the influx of undocumented immigrants coming into the U.S. from the southern border, which has significantly increased under the Biden administration.
Republicans have indicated they will request DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his testimony as part of their investigation, although no committee has followed through with that pledge as of Thursday.Ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, lawmakers have remained split on how the widespread disease originated, with some theorizing it spread from a Wuhan lab, while others claimed it was a result of natural causes.
The Oversight Committee held a hearing on March 8 featuring testimony from Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Jamie Metzl, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, Nicholas Wade, former science and health editor at the New York Times, and Paul Auwaerter, clinical director of the Division of Infectious Diseases.
The committee later announced it would expand its investigation into the president’s son, calling on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Eric Schwerin to provide any documents, communications, and records related to President Biden’s involvement with their business schemes. Those letters were sent on Feb. 9.
