Hawley calls for Mayorkas “to be impeached”; Jordan announces investigation into DOJ
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced that the Judiciary Committee launched an investigation into the Department of Justice’s alleged spying on congressional staff and members of Congress. The investigation comes after reports emerged that Jason Foster, Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) former chief investigative counsel, had allegedly been spied on by the DOJ. Jordan announced the investigation on Fox News Business on Tuesday.
Hours after a tense exchange between Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, in which the Republican senator called Mayorkas’s performance “despicable,” Hawley said he thinks President Joe Biden’s Cabinet member should “be impeached.” Mayorkas appeared at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing Tuesday afternoon, where he was grilled about threats to the homeland, including illegal immigration at the southern border and DHS employees’ feelings toward Israel.
