After refusing to provide information about their organizations ‘ jobs in President Biden’s national election interference, House Republicans on Thursday subpoenaed five Biden-Harris management officials for sworn affidavits.
” Americans deserve accountability and accountability for their votes. The Biden Administration has, according to Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., refused to comply with a freely issued congressional summons and collaborate with our analysis into their plan to “get out the ballot.”
Executive Order 14019, which Biden issued in March 2021, is in dispute. The constitutionally questionable order instructed hundreds of national agencies to , interfere , in state and local election leadership by using tax dollars to indulge in voting registration and get-out-the-vote activities.
Authorities were also instructed to work with so-called “nonpartisan third-party businesses” that have been “approved” by the White House to deliver “voter subscription services on firm premises”. Many of the organizations identified as having collaborated with the leadership are radical in nature.
Also, it was required that departments create” proper plan]s” outlining how their respective organizations would implement Biden’s directive. The presidency has routinely , stonewalled , efforts by Congress and liberal organizations to get these plans by slow-walking its response to national court orders and , greatly redacting , any relevant documents it’s released.
Steil, the chair of the House Administration Committee, first sent letters to Biden cabinet officials on May 15 requesting details on their plans to fulfill the” Bidenbucks” ( now dubbed” KamalaCash” ) order. The Wisconsin Republican emailed 15 federal agencies with subpoenas demanding they resend copies of their” strategic plans” and communications with third-party groups regarding their work on” Bidenbucks,” demanding no response for nearly a month.
Following another quarter of browbeating, Steil issued words to top authorities within the Departments of Labor, Justice, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Agriculture on July 29, in which he informed them that failure to comply with the agency’s repeated requests may result in “additional remedies for dishonesty”.
The committee on Thursday sent subpoenas to officials at the aforementioned organizations.
According to Steil,” These Biden Administration agencies failed to produce their strategic plans to implement Executive Order 14019 on numerous occasions.” It’s about time these officials told the Committee what these plans contained and how their organizations were carrying them out.
The U.S. Supreme Court is currently hearing a lawsuit challenging the executive order’s constitutionality. A decision on whether to hear oral arguments in the case, however, will not be considered until Sept. 30, meaning a ruling on the order’s legality likely wo n’t occur until after the November election.
