Washington, D.C — In case you missed it, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined her colleagues to discuss how House Republicans are delivering on their promise to hold the Biden Administration accountable with today’s vote to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with their subpoena and release the audio recordings of Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
As a Senior Member of the House Armed Services Committee, Stefanik also elaborated on how this year’s national defense bill which she helped craft secures critical wins for Fort Drum, the 10th Mountain Division, and all of Upstate New York.
Stefanik finished by highlighting yesterday’s deposition of corrupt former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over his fatal nursing home order that resulted in the deaths of over fifteen thousand innocent seniors, and reaffirmed her commitment to deliver justice, accountability, and answers for those families who are still grieving.
View a transcript of her remarks below:
“Tomorrow, House Republicans are honored to host at our special political conference President Donald J. Trump where we will discuss how Republicans will work together to save America from Joe Biden and Far Left Democrats' failed leadership that has caused skyrocketing and painful Bidenflation, the historic Biden Border Crisis, surging violent crime, a weakened national security, and chaos around the world.
This week on the Floor, House Republicans are delivering on our promise to hold the Biden Administration accountable when we bring to the Floor our resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with our subpoena and release the audio recordings of Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. It's time for Merrick Garland to stop stonewalling and release the Biden tapes.
Additionally, we will bring to the Floor the national defense bill for FY25, and as a Senior Member of the House Armed Services Committee, I’m proud to have helped craft this legislation securing critical wins for my home district, for Fort Drum, the 10th Mountain Division, and all of Upstate New York. This bill also includes significant investments in emerging technology, provides for our military families, equips our service members with modern capabilities and platforms as they fight to protect our Nation and deter our adversaries.
I also quickly want to touch upon yesterday’s deposition of corrupt former, disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo whose fatal nursing home order resulted in the deaths of over 15 thousand innocent seniors dying in nursing homes. This was a long overdue step for those families who are still mourning the loss of their loved ones in New York state. We will continue to fight to deliver justice and accountability and answers for those families who are still grieving.”
