The Republican-led House Oversight Committee is set to hold a broad hearing on what is describing as the Biden administration's "policy failures."
In a statement announcing the hearing on Thursday, committee chair James Comer accused the administration of causing "skyrocketing inflation, the worst border crisis in American history, high energy prices, chaos around the world, and rampant waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement at federal agencies."
"Next week's hearing will examine the Biden-Harris Administration's failed record and what can be done to reverse the damage this Administration has caused," Comer added in the statement, sent to Fox News.
The outlet detailed that the hearing will include testimony from FCC member Brendan Carr, Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian, a member of the Independent Women's Forum and former EPA official Mandy Gunasekera.
It is the latest of broad efforts by Republicans in Congress to grill their opponents ahead of the elections. Also on Thursday, James Comer gave the FBI a new deadline to provide documentation related to what it claims to be connections from Democratic vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz, with China.
Comer sent a letter fo FBI Director Christopher Wray saying the bureau has not complied with the request and that its "silence regarding Mr. Walz's documented relations with CCP affiliates is inexcusable."
"The Committee must understand the full extent of Mr. Walz's ties to the CCP. In short, such ties appear myriad and substantial. In 1993, Mr. Walz organized a trip to the PRC for his Alliance High School students; the costs for the trip were paid in part by the Chinese government," reads a passage of the letter, which goes on to list other instances to support his claims.
Another Republican leading similar efforts is the chair of the Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan. on Tuesday, Jordan reiterated a request for the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), David Pekoske, to provide documents related to an investigation over allegations that the Biden administration took measures against former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard after she gave a critical interview.
Jordan made the request after a deadline originally set for September 5 seemingly passed without response. The new document establishes September 23 as the new final date for any pertinent information to be produced, warning the body could resort to a subpoena to get them.
"The Committee is prepared to resort to compulsory process to obtain compliance with our requests for documents and communications," reads a passage of the letter. "Why is the Biden-Harris TSA stonewalling our inquiry into Tulsi Gabbard being surveilled by the Quiet Skies Program?" the GOP's House Judiciary X account published when attaching Jordan's letter.
