Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., on Sunday criticized Donald Trump for dining with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, during a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at the former president's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida last week. “Well, he certainly needs better judgment in who he dines with,” Comer said in an interviews on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” "I know that he’s issued a statement. Pressed on whether he condemns Trump’s actions, Comer said he would not take a meeting with “that person,” nor Ye. Trump, who described the dinner held on the back patio as “quick and uneventful," is facing backlash for dining with Ye and Fuentes. Chris Christie, who was once a Trump ally, was among a handful of Republicans who jabbed Trump for hosting Fuentes.
☆ House Republicans say TikTok made misleading claims in briefings on data handling
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Washington CNN Business —House Republicans say TikTok may have misled congressional staff in private briefings about the company’s handling of US user data, in a new letter to the short-form video app this week. And it foreshadows how House Republicans, having gained a majority in the 2022 midterm elections, are likely to approach TikTok in the coming months. “Both claims appear to be misleading at best, and at worst, false,” Comer and McMorris Rodgers wrote. Tuesday’s letter calls on TikTok to preserve a broad swath of documents, communications and other records, in a preview of how House lawmakers could investigate the company in the coming months. And it reiterated a half-dozen other requests for information the GOP lawmakers had sent to the company during the summer.

House Republicans are planning a slew of investigations now that they've reclaimed the majority. Supporters say GOP leaders need to be "deliberative" and "organized" about the promised probes. Matt Mackowiak, a former Senate GOP staffer who is now a Texas-based political consultant, advised House Republicans to focus on what matters most to voters. Rep. Connolly urged Republicans to tread carefully, vowing to "push back against any efforts that we believe are purely political and non-factual." Aides for McCarthy and Jordan did not immediately respond to requests for comment about any GOP calls to tread carefully next year.
☆ U.S. House Republicans press TikTok on Chinese data sharing
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Following election wins earlier this month, Republicans will take control of the House in January. The letter could be a sign of tough scrutiny they plan to apply to Chinese companies including TikTok, a target of the Republican administration of former President Donald Trump. But the Democratic Biden administration has also expressed concern about TikTok. Among other questions, the lawmakers asked TikTok to provide drafts of any agreement being negotiated with the Biden administration to allow TikTok to remain active in the United States. CFIUS and TikTok have been in talks for months aiming to reach a national security agreement to protect the data of TikTok's more than 100 million users.
☆ House Republicans expected to soup up their Biden-centric investigations by taking pages from the Jan. 6 committee's groundbreaking playbook: oversight veterans
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Warren Rojas | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Newly empowered House Republicans are preparing to launch myriad investigations next year. Oversight veterans expect the GOP to take some cues from the January 6 committee hearings. "I think Republicans will go to school on that," Davis told Insider. The recent development Davis said GOP leaders might soon regret is their decision to dodge the January 6 committee subpoenas. Aides to anticipated Oversight committee chair James Comer and Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan did not respond to requests for comment about the January 6 committee's work or their forthcoming investigations.
☆ House Republicans are going after Hunter Biden. Here's why the White House should be worried.
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Mattathias Schwartz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
The new GOP House majority will likely subpoena Hunter Biden as they dig into his business dealings. The career of Hunter Biden, on the other hand, has all the earmarks of a real one. Nor will it protect the Biden White House from potential fallout stemming from the Justice Department's own criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, which is ongoing. During Joe Biden's vice presidency, Hunter Biden was openly trading on the Biden family name. A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not respond to Insider's request for comment Friday about the looming possibility of a congressional inquiry.
☆ House Republicans plan investigations and possible impeachments with new majority

WASHINGTON — House Republicans' majority will be smaller than expected, but they're eager to use their new oversight powers and pass a spate of bills to draw contrasts with Democrats and give the Biden administration heartburn. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., joined by Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., left, and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, in Washington on July 21, 2021. A growing number of Republicans say they have their sights set on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, bashing his handling of the border surge. LegislationDemocrats still occupy the White House, so any legislation Republicans pass on a partisan basis won’t be signed into law by Biden. But House Republicans say they will waste no time showing the parties’ stark differences as they battle for control of the White House in 2024.
☆ U.S. House Republicans make investigation of Biden a top priority

A White House statement accused House Republicans of planning to go after Biden "with politically motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories." Hunter Biden never held a position in the White House or on his father's campaign. The House Republicans' probe will begin to unfold next year, as the U.S. political calendar heads toward the 2024 presidential election, in which Biden said he currently intends to seek re-election. More than a dozen House Republicans appeared alongside Comer at a Wednesday press conference, many of them staunch allies of Trump, who announced his own 2024 White House run on Tuesday. The looming House Oversight investigation of Biden will coincide with a House Judiciary Committee probe into allegations of political influence at the Justice Department under Biden.
☆ Newly empowered House Republicans accuse President Joe Biden of influence peddling as part of anticipated Hunter Biden probe

House Oversight ranking member James Comer said he's investigating President Joe Biden. Comer has long alleged that Hunter Biden's business dealings have compromised his father. The announcement marks an escalation of the House GOP's probe into Hunter Biden. To date no evidence has substantiated GOP claims that Hunter Biden's work influenced policy decisions made during his father's three stints in the White House or that Joe Biden has somehow profited from Hunter's dealings. Comer outlined plans to rake President Biden's scandal-plagued youngest son over the coals before the midterm elections, billing Hunter Biden as a national security risk.

GOP Reps. Foxx and Comer want investigations into the ethics of Biden's student-loan forgiveness. They're concerned that the staffers who helped craft the policy could stand to benefit from it. The White House has not yet given a direct response to Foxx and Comer's concerns. —Oversight Committee Republicans (@GOPoversight) September 15, 2022Since Biden announced the debt relief, Republicans have been on the offense, pursuing many routes to attempt to prevent the loan forgiveness from coming to fruition. Amid GOP pushback, Democratic lawmakers are blasting Republicans for trying to take relief away from millions of working Americans.
