Washington, D.C. – This morning, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer announced that he will launch a new investigation into Gov. Tim Walz and his “connections” to China. This baseless investigation comes after MAGA House Republicans have pivoted to start investigating Vice President Harris and Governor Walz, using taxpayer dollars and their official resources to do the bidding of a convicted felon and weaponizing our government to act as an arm of the struggling Trump campaign.
In response, Congressional Integrity Project executive director Kyle Herrig said the following:
“James Comer’s new investigation into Governor Walz is nothing but another abuse of his power as Oversight Committee Chairman. Over the past year and a half, Comer has done absolutely nothing with his Committee to benefit the lives of hard-working Americans across the country. Instead, he has weaponized Congress, purely for political purposes, to do the bidding of convicted felon Donald Trump, and help him return to the White House and enact the radical Project 2025 agenda. Like everything Comer has touched with his committee, this investigation into Walz will backfire.”
