The pro-Palestine protesters then erected a new encampment on Sunday afternoon with roughly 40 tents on Cross Campus after a mass rally of over 1,000 protesters marched through the streets of downtown New Haven and Yale’s campus. Police officers then cleared that encampment on Tuesday morning but made no arrests. Education and Workforce Committee Chair Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said in a press release that the May hearing would concern the summoned presidents’ handling of recent campus protests. University President Peter Salovey has been called to testify before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce about campus antisemitism, per a press release shared by the committee on Tuesday. It also comes as the House GOP appears to be hitting a dead end with the Biden impeachment inquiry. So far, both the House Oversight and Judiciary committees have failed to produce definitive evidence that ties Joe Biden to any criminal activity or misconduct that constitutes a high crime or misdemeanor, or an impeachable offense.

“The university has received the invitation,” a University spokesperson wrote on behalf of Salovey to the News’ inquiry on whether Salovey would attend the hearing and his reaction to the announcement. The spokesperson did not further elaborate on whether Salovey will testify on May 23. Comer and Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Byron Donalds (R-FL), and Eric Burlison (R-MO) are heading to the Washington, D.C. University to tour the “radical, antisemitic, and unlawful encampment” that mirrors several others that have sprouted on college campuses as the war between Israel and Hamas continues.

*RESCHEDULED* Oversight of Federal Agencies’ Post-Pandemic Telework Policies: Part II

One Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, insisted that Hunter Biden be quickly arrested. GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia called him a coward as he left during her remarks. Democratic lawmakers argued that Biden, who has refused to testify to the panel behind closed doors, should be allowed to speak publicly. If the House votes to hold Hunter Biden in contempt, it will be up to the Department of Justice, specifically the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, to decide whether to prosecute. Our mission statement is to ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the federal government and all its agencies.

They were told to not approach Hunter Biden and wait for his call. That never happened, and they never got to interview Hunter Biden, Tipping off the transition team and not being able to interview Hunter Biden as planned are just a couple of examples that reveal the Justice Department’s misconduct in the Biden criminal investigation that occurred under U.S. Further angering Republicans, Hunter Biden did come to the Capitol on the day specified by the subpoena — but not to testify. Capitol complex — a couple hundred feet away from the awaiting GOP investigators — and delivered a rare public statement defending his business affairs and castigating the yearslong investigations into him and his family.

BREAKING: Dr. Anthony Fauci to Testify at Public Hearing on June 3

Attorney Weiss as Special Counsel given his inability to prevent the Biden transition team from being contacted and federal agents were not permitted to interview Hunter Biden as planned. Under the Weiss-led investigation, investigators were prevented from taking steps that could have led to Joe Biden, the statute of limitations was allowed to run with respect to certain felonies, and the U.S. Attorney’s office sought to give Hunter Biden an unprecedented sweetheart plea deal. The House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees will continue our investigation into the Justice Department’s two-tiered system of justice and hold bad actors accountable,” continued Chairman Comer. “IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony that Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off is confirmed by a former FBI agent. Shapley and the FBI agent planned to interview Hunter Biden in December 2020, but learned the night before that the Biden transition team was tipped off.

Republicans have also focused a large part of their investigation on whistleblower allegations that there has been political interference in the long-running Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden. He added, “There is no fairness or decency in what these Republicans are doing — they have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and professional life — so much so that their lies have become the false facts believed by too many people. “Retirement from public service does not excuse Dr. Fauci from accountability to the American people. On June 3, Americans will have an opportunity to hear directly from Dr. Fauci about his role in overseeing our nation’s pandemic response, shaping pandemic-era polices, and promoting singular questionable narratives about the origins of COVID-19.

Hearing on Biden Family Business Dealings, Part 4

On May 8, the House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on the Metropolitan Police Department’s reported refusal to clear the George Washington University encampment, a source familiar confirmed to the Washington Examiner. Both Mayor Muriel Bowser and MPD Chief Pamela Smith have been invited to testify. Hunter Biden’s only remarks to reporters were when asked why he had his father on speaker phone several times during business meetings. It’s the latest step for the inquiry, which began in September, but has so far failed to uncover evidence directly implicating the president in wrongdoing involving his son’s business dealings. However, the night before, December 7th of 2020, I was informed that FBI headquarters had notified Secret Service headquarters and the transition team about the planned actions the following day. This essentially tipped off a group of people very close to President Biden and Hunter Biden and gave this group an opportunity to obstruct the approach of the witness.

On December 8th to the Secret Service Los Angeles special agent in charge and tell them that we would be coming to the residence to seek an interview with Hunter Biden and it was part of an official investigation. Unlike Salovey, the three presidents called before Congress then were new to their roles. The committees’ votes Wednesday on contempt of Congress come a day before Hunter Biden is scheduled to make his first court appearance on tax charges filed by a special counsel in Los Angeles.

According to the State Department’s website, Syria is “on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism” and therefore has little communication with the U.S. Speaker Mike Johnson gave his stamp of approval Wednesday to the contempt process, saying that the House must uphold its subpoena power. If the contempt referral against Hunter Biden passes the full House it would be yet another challenge for federal prosecutors already under heavy scrutiny for their handling of charges against him related to his taxes and gun use.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans on Wednesday took the first step toward holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena. They advanced the charge to a full House vote just hours after the president’s son sparked a momentary political frenzy by appearing in the front row for part of the debate. Hunter Biden was assigned Secret Service protection on or around our December 3rd meeting. So we developed a plan for the FBI Los Angeles special agent in charge to reach out at 8 a.m.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is advancing his committee’s crackdown on antisemitism on college campuses with a visit to George Washington University‘s campus to view the pro-Palestinian encampments on Wednesday. Shelving the contempt of Congress charges would likely further stoke conservative criticism that the Justice Department is politicized — especially given that two one-time advisers to former President Donald Trump were prosecuted for contempt of Congress by the Biden administration. The former FBI Supervisory Special Agent and IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapely were told to wait for a phone call to interview Hunter Biden. However, they never received a phone call and never interviewed Hunter Biden for the investigation.
