On 11/29/2023, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) joined others to discuss the ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s shady business dealings. Scalise also outlined the ways in which House Republicans are fighting to freeze the $6 billion Biden released to Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and block Democrats’ plan to house illegal immigrants in national parks.
On House Republicans’ investigations into the Biden family’s dirty business deals:
“As you can see, we have three different committees that are relentlessly working to get the facts out about this investigation that’s been ongoing for months. The one thing that you can see as a steady, consistent theme – where it started with [Chairman] Comer’s committee, [Chairman] Jordan’s committee, ultimately [Chairman] Smith’s committee – is that every step of the way, they’ve been consistently going after the facts to try to find out exactly what happened with all of these web companies, these shell companies, that whistleblowers were coming forward, saying it wasn’t just about Hunter Biden; that ultimately money was going into Joe Biden’s checking account.
“What you saw at the White House, over and over again, was a constant changing of the story. The White House has changed its story multiple times as the facts have emerged over and over again, and if you look at some of these poster boards you see checks. You see more facts that continue to be released, and as more facts come out, the White House continues to try to change their tune to cover up what really happened.
“As Jamie Comer talked about, tens of thousands of pages of alias information is still at the White House that they won’t turn over to Congress. What are they trying to hide at the White House? Why won’t the White House fully comply? So we’re going to be relentless at continuing to get the facts, all three committees working through this impeachment inquiry to ultimately get the facts out and find out where all this money was coming from – foreign countries, ultimately, into the pockets of various members of the Biden family to the tune of millions and millions of dollars. So this will not slow down, and in the meantime, the House will continue to do its work here, as [Whip Emmer] talked about.”
On freezing Biden’s $6 billion to Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism:
““Where does Hamas get their funding? They get their funding from Iran. Everybody knows that. The Biden Administration knows it, yet the Biden Administration opposes this legislation because they want the Ayatollah in Iran to get that $6 billion. Why would Joe Biden want the Ayatollah to have access to $6 billion, knowing it goes to fund Hamas and other terrorism? We’re going to be taking a strong stand to freeze that money tomorrow. That will be a vote on the House floor.”
On taking action against housing illegal immigrants on federal lands:
“We also say, as more illegals pour into our country – millions more illegals coming into our country – they’re using federal lands in the Biden Administration to house illegals. They’re waiving environmental regulations that military veterans cannot use, homeless veterans cannot use today, but they’ll waive every environmental regulation to allow people coming here illegally to use those very same federal lands. And we’re saying you can’t use those federal lands to house illegals; that vote will be on the House floor tomorrow, as well. So the House is going to continue to do his work as we relentlessly pursue the facts in this case.”
Speaker Johnson admits ‘real reservations’ as House preps vote on booting George Santos
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Wednesday he has “real reservations” about moving forward with a vote to expel lying Rep. George Santos (R-NY), which will take place later this week.
“I personally have real reservations about doing this,” Johnson told reporters on Capitol Hill. “I’m concerned about a precedent that may be set for that.”
During an earlier GOP conference meeting, the House speaker said, lawmakers made “good faith” arguments “both pro and con, for the expulsion resolution for Santos.”
“There are people who say you have to uphold the rule of law and allow for someone to be convicted in a criminal court before this tough penalty would be exacted on someone,” the Louisianan explained. “That’s been the precedent so far.”
“There are others who say, ‘Well, upholding the rule of law requires us to take this step now because some of the things he’s alleged to have done, the House Ethics Committee having done their job, are infractions against the House itself,’” he went on.
