The House Judiciary Committee is reportedly set to spend $19 million this year, a significant increase from the budgets of previous Judiciary Committees.
The spending figure is nearly $12 million more than the committee spent in 2022 and is mostly going to increasing staff along with holding hearings outside of the U.S. Capitol complex, per the New York Times.Previous committees have not spent more than $8 million in recent history. In 2022, when the House was under Democratic control, the House Judiciary Committee spent roughly $7.6 million, with just $8,000 coming from travel expenses and roughly $7.4 million coming from staff compensation.
The coronavirus pandemic likely played a massive role in the lack of funds for travel the past two years, as in 2019, the last full year prior to the pandemic, the committee under Democratic control spent $84,587 on travel.
