On Tuesday, Comer (R-Ky.) released a statement regarding the matter.
“It is an honor to continue serving the American people as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee,” Comer said in a statement. “The American people have made it clear they want President [-elect Donald] Trump and Congress to clean up the federal government and make it more accountable to them. Oversight Committee Republicans are ready to hit the ground running and fulfill this mandate.”
“Many of President Trump’s key priorities align with the Oversight Committee’s jurisdiction, including the federal civil service, government management, efficiency in government operations, federal procurement, executive branch reorganizations, and more,” he continued. “We will actively work with President Trump and his administration to hold the federal bureaucracy accountable and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. We will advance solutions to make the federal government more efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable to the American people.”
Comer’s work in the current Congress has centered on investigating the overseas business activities of President Joe Biden and his family, which allegedly involve influence peddling and selling access to the President.
Last week, Comer indicated plans to reintroduce his Stopping Home Office Work’s Unproductive Problems (SHOW UP) Act. This move follows a recent agreement between the union representing 42,000 Social Security Administration employees and the Biden administration, allowing remote work to continue through 2029.
The SHOW UP Act previously passed the House in February 2023, but failed to advance in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
