House Republicans are declaring what amounts to an investigative war on the Biden administration, pledging to probe “ongoing criminal investigations” at the Justice Department
.
The genesis of the proposed select panel — which would operate underneath the Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. — has exacerbated concerns among DOJ allies about how GOP lawmakers will use their broad directive.

That resistance came even when during the first two years of the Trump administration, when Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress. As special counsel Robert Mueller explored connections between the Trump campaign and Russia, congressional Republicans dug into the origins of the probe — and attempted to get a glimpse inside Mueller’s apparatus — often meeting stiff DOJ resistance.
Brand noted that he had raised alarms about the earlier panel’s potential impact on criminal matters.
