Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are calling for a review into the controversial EB-5 immigrant investor visa program -- warning that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may be abusing the program to get its members into the United States.
Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), member of the GOP task force on China, are requesting that the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), a government watchdog, review to what extent the Chinese Communist Party is abusing the U.S.'s EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program.
In a June 15, 2020 letter to the U.S. Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro, they wrote:
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News this weekend that Democrats under orders from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed out of a planned bipartisan commission to investigate the Chinese Communist Party and in particular the Chinese origins of the coronavirus.
Democrats, he said, have instead opted for an impeachment-style House Select Committee to investigate President Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic rather than zoning in on China as they had originally intended to do.
Republican Rep. Guy Reschenthaler introduced a bill on Friday that would repeal the Logan Act, in the wake of the Justice Department's move to drop the case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn -- which was related to that centuries-old law.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) introduced legislation on Friday to repeal the Logan Act, which, he charged, has been used as a "political weapon" against people such as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Reschenthaler proposed the Time to Repeal an Archaic Policy (TRAP) Act, which would repeal the "archaic" Logan Act. He believes the FBI used the Logan Act to set up Flynn.
President Trump said the U.S. must start its economy "all over again" Friday as the unemployment rate from the coronavirus crisis rose to the highest level since the Great Depression.
"It's going to be a transition to greatness," the president said during a discussion at the White House with 19 House Republican lawmakers. "We are in a position where we have to start all over again. We're going to build it back fast."
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News during a press conference call on Tuesday that, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) continues to block an investigation into the origins of the Chinese coronavirus, House Republicans will move forward with their own investigation.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Penn., told Newsmax TV on Tuesday that the bipartisan congressional commission on coronavirus oversight is an unnecessary waste of money.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats for not taking a stronger stance against China following the global outbreak of the coronavirus.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) told Breitbart News this weekend that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would rather investigate President Donald Trump again than focus on the actual origins of the Chinese coronavirus and U.S. tax dollars that went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology from which intelligence officials increasingly believe the virus leaked.
