As we approach the end of the first year of the 118th Congress, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement on the progress House Republicans have made in fulfilling their Commitment to America agenda:
"Throughout the first year of the 118th Congress, House Republicans fought hard on behalf of American families reeling from President Biden’s crime and inflation crises by upholding our Commitment to America and changing the way Washington runs.
"House Republicans have been leading with solutions on every issue – passing more rule bills than House Democrats did with one party control in the first year of the 117th Congress – even as the Senate and the President continue their tactic of refusing to take up our bills to fix their self-created crises.
"On the House floor, the Republican majority has passed legislation to confront rising crime, unleash American energy, lower costs for families, secure President Biden’s wide-open border, combat executive overreach and burdensome agency rules, and refocus our military on its core mission of national security. We’ve also been fighting to fix our broken education system by passing a Parents’ Bill of Rights and exposing the rampant antisemitism and hypocritical wokeism on university campuses.
"House Republicans have also worked tirelessly to increase transparency, oversight, and accountability in the federal government. The House Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Oversight Committee investigations continue to reveal new evidence of President Biden’s involvement in his family’s shady business dealings and his Administration’s efforts to impede the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. The American people deserve the truth, and we won’t stop until we get it.
"Washington must work for the American people – not against them. In the next year, House Republicans will hit the ground running, continuing to address the problems that are hurting families across the country and deliver on our promises."

A Government That’s Accountable ✅
Oversight Investigations
Impeachment Inquiry:
For months, the Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means Committees have conducted an investigation that built a record of overwhelming evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited directly from his family’s influence peddling schemes.
According to financial records obtained by the House Oversight Committee, the Biden family set up over 20 shell companies – most of which were created when Joe Biden was Vice President – in a concerted effort to hide payments from foreign adversaries.
The Biden family and their associates received over $24 million between 2014 and 2019 from foreign nationals including companies in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan.
The Bidens sold access to Joe Biden around the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, likely to the detriment of U.S. interests.
The committees revealed two checks to Joe Biden that prove Joe Biden benefited directly from his family’s influence peddling.
Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check.
Joe Biden also received a $200,000 check labeled from James Biden the same day that James Biden received a $200,000 loan from a failing rural hospital operator. James Biden swindled the hospital by claiming his last name would open doors in the Middle East.
The committees are taking action to bring in key witnesses from the Biden family and their associates to question them on the record of evidence.
The House voted to formalize the impeachment inquiry into President Biden on December 13, 2023. This vote will allow Congress to function at the apex of its power to compel witness testimony and the production of documents to ensure that the American get the answers they deserve.
The House Oversight Committee, Committee on Judiciary, and Ways and Means will continue to follow the facts and deliver transparency and accountability for the American people.
