FIRST ON FOX:\u00a0House Republicans are buzzing over pulling the curtain back on President Biden\u2019s “weaponization” of the federal government, with one noting that “sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
\nThe lower chamber GOP is looking to form the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government expected to be headed up by Judiciary Chairman\u00a0Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to probe the Biden administration\u2019s use of the federal government against everyday Americans.
\nRepublicans from leadership to the newest members are pumped for the subcommittee, with newly-minted House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., telling Fox News Digital “House Republicans laid out a plan of action in our \u2018Commitment to America\u2019 that we would hold the Biden Administration accountable.”
\n“That begins today. By creating a Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, we will begin holding the Biden Administration accountable by exposing their assault on the constitutional rights of hard-working Americans,” Scalise said.
\nHouse Republican Conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik of New York told Fox News Digital that “House Republicans are committed to ending the political weaponization of the FBI and DOJ’s abuse of power and restoring a government accountable to the people.”
\n“The American people have witnessed these corrupt agencies fully weaponized against the Biden Administration\u2019s political opponents as they conducted an unprecedented raid on President Trump\u2019s home, illegally paid Twitter to suppress stories for political benefit, and continue to cover up for Hunter Biden,” Stefanik said.
\n“If the government agencies can do this to a former President without accountability, imagine how these corrupt agencies can be weaponized against the American people,” she added. “House Republicans are sending a strong message that accountability is coming, and we will deliver the truth.”<\/p>\n
