James Comer touts how deep state days are 'about to end' on Trump's watch

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) argued that President-elect Donald Trump is nominating “the right people” for his second administration’s Cabinet, all of whom will work to end the control “the deep state” has on the U.S. government.

The FBI is among the portions of the government the incoming Trump administration is planning to reshape, a move for which Comer offered his support and argued the FBI’s current leadership has made it stray from its “core mission” of pursuing criminals and instead targeting “anyone that they feel is a threat to their deep state supremacy.”
