“We’ve worked diligently to expose the radical Biden-Harris regime’s weaponization of federal law enforcement agencies against law-abiding Americans and soft-on-crime and illegal alien policies that made our communities more dangerous,” he added.
“The American people demand change from the inside out, and the Subcommittee is ready to get back to work in January.”
The House Judiciary Committee, as well as its various subcommittees, often have more high-profile hearings than others in Congress.
