House Republicans issued subpoenas to 15 top Biden officials due to concerns about an executive order perceived as favoring Democrats in future elections.
The order emphasized boosting voter registration and turnout, raising worries about potential partisanship in election administration.
Committee Chairman Bryan Steil criticized the move, labeling it as an attempt by the Biden Administration to influence the electoral playing field for 2024.
“Elections are partisan, but our election administration should never be partisan. Allowing federal employees from the Biden Administration to flood election administration sites threatens election integrity and reduces Americans’ confidence,” Steil said. “This Executive Order is another attempt by the Biden Administration to tilt the scales ahead of 2024.”
“I will continue working to provide transparency and accountability on this Administration’s latest scheme as Congress did not appropriate taxpayer funds for partisan activities,” he added.
The subpoenas aim to gather documents related to the executive order and assess the need for legislative action to address the perceived partisan impact.
The deadline for compliance with the subpoenas is June 26, with discussions on potential legislative responses ongoing.
“As the Committee continues to investigate this issue, the strategic plans and other documents requested will inform the Committee on what additional legislation, if any, needs to be considered to clarify that the NRA does not enable executive branch agencies to focus on voter registration,” Steil wrote.
