Rep. Gregory Meeks, a senior New York Democratic congressman, is taking the helm of a powerful congressional oversight committee that has clashed repeatedly with the Trump administration over impeachment, arms sales, the management of the U.S. State Department, and other issues in the past four years.
Now, as Meeks takes over, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is preparing to transition to a Democratic White House, setting the stage for the congressman to be an important ally on Capitol Hill for the incoming Biden administration.
