WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-21, Schuylerville, announced on Wednesday that she has been appointed by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to serve on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

“I am proud to serve on this critical Select Committee that will not only hold the DOJ (Department of Justice) and FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) accountable for their longstanding political weaponization against the American people but the entire federal government, including the IRS, HHS, NIH, and many other agencies,” Stefanik said. “Just as I proudly stood up for our Constitution in the face of radical Democrats’ sham impeachments against President Donald Trump and led the fight to expose and successfully defeat their partisan process, I will help lead the charge to root out corruption in our government agencies,” the statement said. “The American people have witnessed the corrupt DOJ and FBI fully weaponized against the Biden Administration’s political opponents as they conducted an unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home, illegally paid Twitter to suppress stories for political benefit, and continue to cover up for the Biden Crime Family.” 

“There are serious questions about how government agencies have gotten away with this for so long, and we will get to the bottom of how these corrupt agencies are being weaponized against everyday Americans. Accountability is coming, and House Republicans will deliver a government accountable to the people,” Stefanik’s statement added.
