Washington — U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has agreed to testify to the House Oversight Committee as Republicans ramp up efforts to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The committee's Republican chairman, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, subpoenaed Cheatle on Wednesday for her testimony, requesting her appearance before lawmakers on July 22. In a letter to Comer on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security offered Cheatle's testimony on July 25, July 26 or the following week. The July 22 date clashed with her "travel and operational commitments." But a committee spokesperson said the hearing would take...

House Republican members on the Oversight Committee said Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security has taken over communications between the committee and the U.S. Secret Service and refuses to confirm a time for a briefing that was supposed to take place today. The interposition by the Department of Homeland Security comes as Congress is seeking answers from the Secret Service about the security failure at Donald Trump's July 13 rally in Pennsylvania where an attempt was made on the former president's life. The USSS had previously agreed to brief the committee Tuesday. "After the Secret Service agreed to brief members...

Just now, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna appeared in public to discuss the arrest of Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court Justice nominee and America’s most crooked ever Attorney General. We are here today because of the double standard that exists within the justice system. As you know, on February 27, the Oversight Committee, as well as the House Judiciary, had sent a subpoena to Attorney General Garland, of which we received no response, and after referring him for criminal contempt within 48 hours or less, the Department of Justice refused to prosecute. Inherent contempt is clearly within our Article One authority,...

A January 6er stole the show during Dr. Anthony Fauci’s House Select Subcommittee hearing on Monday. Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was testifying about the origins of COVID, lockdown measures, and misleading medical advice. Fauci, who has been widely criticized for his role in advocating for draconian lockdowns, unnecessary masking, social distancing mandates, and for spreading false information about the ‘Wuhan lab leak’ theory, was met with hostility from audience members. Shouts of “Nuremberg 2.0” and “You killed my grandmother” echoed through the room as Fauci took his seat, according to...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testifies on his role in overseeing the U.S. response to COVID-19 before the House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

<p>President Biden cited executive privilege Thursday to block the House Oversight Committee from getting copies of five hours of audio recordings from his interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur on Oct. 8-9, 2023, as well as tapes of ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer allegedly admitting to deleting incriminating recordings of Biden discussing classified information.</p>

Republicans will move to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, DailyMail.com confirmed, after the Department of Justice refused to hand over audio tapes of Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The attorney general had until April 8 to hand over requested materials from Robert Hur's interviews with Biden that led him to conclude the president is 'elderly' and 'well-meaning' but has a 'poor memory.' They subpoenaed transcripts, notes, audio and video files largely related to Hur's interview. While the DOJ has handed over transcripts of Hur's interviews with Biden as well as the transcript and...

On Sunday, news broke that Joe Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, used his ties to the former Vice President to do business with terrorist-supporting regime Qatar and foreign investors to finance Americore Health LLC. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family’s corruption uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden that they claimed was a “loan repayment.” However, there were no IRS records or loan documents to prove it. In 2018, Jim Biden received $600,000 in ‘loans’ from Americore Health LLC, a failing/bankrupt rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy documents, Jim Biden received...

House Republicans are demanding the FBI turn over records related to the federal government’s indictment of a once-trusted confidential human source (CHS), according to a joint congressional letter shared exclusively with The Federalist. On Friday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent the letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray to request documents related to Special Counsel David Weiss’s indictment of CHS Alexander Smirnov. Smirnov was charged two weeks ago for allegedly making false statements about President Joe Biden’s involvement in a criminal bribery scheme with a Ukrainian oligarch. Republican lawmakers, however, are left with questions about...

The GOP Oversight Committee was good enough to release key excerpts from Hunter Biden's deposition as part of their impeachment inquiry of his dad, Joe. This is super helpful especially since he testified behind closed doors. Take a look: 🚨TRANSCRIPT RELEASE🚨 Today, we released the transcript of our deposition with Hunter Biden as part of our impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. 🧵See the key excerpts👇 — Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) March 1, 2024 Quick, grab some popcorn: Contrary to Joe Biden’s past statements, Hunter Biden admitted he received money from Chinese companies but characterized it as “incredibly ethical.” pic.twitter.com/J0dthU8Knu —...

Kentucky’s attorney general is investigating a health care company that wired $200,000 to James Biden the same day he wrote a check for that amount to his brother and future president Joe Biden. James Biden worked as a consultant for Americore Holdings LLC, a Florida-based hospital chain that later collapsed. Americore declared bankruptcy in Kentucky in 2022 under federal law amid reports of massive staff departures, poor patient care, and poor equipment at one of the hospitals in the state. It’s not clear whether the probe by the office of Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman, a Republican, extends to members...

During his appearance outside the U.S. Capitol this morning, Hunter Biden insisted that his father "was not financially involved" in his business dealings: Hunter Biden added that "my father was not financially involved in my business," saying he was not involved in his dealings with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, or his Chinese investments and others in the U.S. "No evidence to support that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen," Hunter Biden said. One more time: Hunter Biden: "Let me state as clearly as I can; my father was not financially involved...

Hunter Biden announced that he will defy the House Oversight Committee subpoena to testify privately and lashed out at the “unrelenting Trump attack machine.” The son of President Joe Biden re-upped his offer to participate in a public congressional hearing instead of a private deposition, which Rep. James Comer, who is leading the investigations into the Biden Family, denied. Hunter Biden opened his comments with the Capitol in the background to assembled media, acknowledging his past mistakes before lashing out at the MAGA Republicans. “I’m here today to acknowledge that I’ve made mistakes in my life and wasted opportunities and...

We should've known. Wait. Some of us did — or at least predicted it — from the beginning, with "it" being the nefarious powers that be in the federal government would do their damnedest to shield Joe and Hunter Biden from the justice they likely deserve for the crimes they likely committed. As I reported on Friday night, legal scholar and Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley called Hunter's Thursday indictment on nine tax counts — including four counts of failure to pay taxes, two counts of filing false tax documents, two counts of failure to file taxes, and one...

A former business associate of Hunter Biden has contested Joe Biden’s recent denial of any interaction with his son’s foreign business associates. During a press conference on Wednesday, Biden labeled allegations of such interactions as “a bunch of lies.” However, one of Hunter’s former business associates responded to the President’s remarks by stating to Fox News Digital that Biden’s claim was “complete malarkey.” The source declared that there is “plenty of evidence” to challenge his denial. On Monday, the House Oversight Committee disclosed subpoenaed bank records indicating that Hunter’s business entity, Owasco P.C., had made direct monthly payments to President...

Then-Vice President Joe Biden apparently used a pseudonym to exchange more than 50 emails with one of Hunter Biden’s business associates, newly released emails show. Joe Biden sent 54 private emails to Hunter Biden’s close business associate and accountant, Eric Schwerin, by using the “Robin Ware” alias, according to an email search released Tuesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. The email data was provided to the committee by IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who testified Tuesday behind closed doors alongside IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.

Hunter Biden agreed to testify before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13 in a letter sent to the panel Tuesday.

The House Oversight Committee this week revealed that five White House employees were involved in Biden’s stolen classified documents case. Joe Biden STOLE SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center. Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials. Nine boxes of documents were taken from Joe Biden’s lawyer’s Boston office and we have no idea what is in those boxes because the National Archives is covering up for Biden. Joe Biden also withheld information from the Senate Intel Committee. Recall that...
