Rep. James Comer: ‘Over the Past Two Years, the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee Haven’t Investigated Anything’

EXCERPT:

COMER: "Well, we're going to investigate between 40 and 50 different things. We have the capacity. We'll have 25 members on the committee, and we're going to have a staff close to 70. So, we have the ability to investigate a lot of things. And — and let's just face it, Chuck, over the past two years the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee haven't investigated anything in this administration. They've investigated the Washington Commanders football team. We've had several hearings on social issues that the Oversight Committee has absolutely nothing to do with, issues like abortion. We believe that there have been hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars wasted over the past three years, so that spans two administrations, in the name of Covid. We want to have hearings on that. We want to try to determine what happened with the fraudulent unemployment insurance funds, the fraudulent PPP loan funds, some of this money that's being spent for state and local governments in the Covid stimulus money. So these are things that are going to be priorities for us as a committee: waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. That's going to be the goal of the House Oversight Committee."
