House GOP Launches Investigation into Granholm's EV Trip

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is launching an investigation into Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's recent EV promotion trip, during which her staff allegedly blocked off an EV charging station. The committee has requested documents and communications related to the trip. The incident in question occurred in Georgia, where a family had to call the police after their access to the charger was blocked. Granholm acknowledged the "poor judgment" of her team and assured that it would not happen again. The committee's letter also criticizes the Biden administration's efforts to expand EV use, invoking the recent strike by the United Auto Workers.

"Explosive Closed-Door Video Unveils McCarthy's Bombshell Hearing on Hunter Biden/IRS Probe"

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy showed House Republicans a video of President Biden denying any wrongdoing related to his family's business dealings, just before a whistleblower is expected to testify that the investigation into Hunter Biden was politicized. The video includes Biden defending his family's actions but ends with an IRS whistleblower claiming that the IRS probe was prevented from pursuing leads that could have implicated President Biden. The whistleblower and another witness are set to testify at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing, which is part of a larger investigation into Hunter Biden and James Biden. McCarthy's efforts to highlight the Biden investigation signal its importance to House GOP leaders, who have made it a priority.
