House Republicans have launched an investigation into the role that a Biden-Harris transition team official played in the government’s award of hundreds of millions of dollars in immigration contracts to his organization — as well as millions of dollars that auditors concluded the contractor wasted.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee’s top Republicans sent a letter to acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tae Johnson on Wednesday requesting all communications between the federal agency, the contractor Endeavors, and a former Biden transition team official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait.
