Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman James. R Walkinshaw (VA-11), a Member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, released the following statement slamming Chairman Comer for abandoning oversight and shielding the Trump administration from accountability.

“Since the Epstein files came to light and Democrats forced a subpoena for Pam Bondi, Chairman Comer has deliberately ground the House Oversight Committee to a halt.

Rather than enforcing subpoenas and following the facts, Comer has shut down the Committee's core oversight functions to protect Donald Trump, his Cabinet, and his political allies. He is blocking votes, stripping Members of the power to compel testimony, and replacing public hearings with closed-door, off-the-record roundtables that produce zero accountability.

This is a deliberate effort to bury the facts, and keep the American people in the dark.

Chairman Comer may try to run out the clock for this Administration, but when Democrats return to the majority, we will use every tool this Committee has to expose the abuses of this administration. No subpoena will go unenforced, and no one in this administration will be above accountability.”
