EXCLUSIVE — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is vowing to investigate the Biden administration's $6 billion"ransom payment to Iran" after Hamas launched a deadly attack against Israel.
Increasingly, congressional Republicans have been sounding the alarm over the Biden administration's release of the Iranian assets before the war. Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to the scrutiny Sunday and said,"Not a single dollar from that account has actually been spent to date.
And adding to the concerns among lawmakers, the House GOP recently launched an investigation into Iran's influence in the U.S., informing Biden in late September that Iran has access to"restricted U.S. State Department emails or government servers." Iran's Foreign Ministry has headed an"Iran Experts Initiative" to push propaganda, and the network has allegedly included Pentagon official Ariane Tabatabai,"influential overseas academics," and ex-aides to U.S.
The breakout of the Israel-Gaza conflict also comes as Republicans remain without a House speaker, though an internal vote is scheduled to take place on Wednesday that will tee up a floor nomination. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise are racking up endorsements following the unprecedented ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker.
