Eye of the Storm - Remembering Veronica

💥House Oversight Chairman James Comer is expanding his probe into former President Joe Biden’s EPA, accusing the agency of awarding $20 billion in grants to political allies.

Comer, R-Ky., called on eight nongovernmental organizations who received the grants to offer the committee all information related to the grants and their staff and salaries.

The $20 billion came out of two initiatives launched under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that aimed to offer grants to nonprofits, community development banks and other groups for projects focusing on disadvantaged communities. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin moved to terminate the programs earlier this month, but that decision is now held up in court.

"The Biden EPA tried to dodge any oversight by striking a shady deal with a financial institution to cover up its corrupt self-dealing that rewarded political cronies pushing a far-left environmental agenda," Comer said in a statement. "The radical environmental groups profiting from Biden’s Green New Deal must be held accountable for their misuse of taxpayer-funded grants and provide information for our investigation."

WATCH: Chuck Schumer says Secretary Hegseth attacked the Atlantic "journalist" instead of owning up. He likens it to an "Alice in Wonderland World."

"If the Russians or Iranians or the Houthis had somehow known about these texts, if someone more nefarious than Mr. Goldberg had been added to the text chain, our troops would have been in danger, the mission would have been compromised..."

"Secretary Hegseth attacked the journalist! Amazing! It's like an Alice in Wonderland world! — Called him deceitful!

"He pointed fingers. He blamed the liberal media. Moaned about hoaxes."

"This is not a hoax. It's very real and very serious. You should not be in your job."

WaPo: The Justice Department has proposed merging the Drug Enforcement Administration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as part of a dramatic shift in the operations of the department’s component agencies and headquarters divisions, according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.

The memo — sent from the office of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche this week to top department leaders — also suggested transferring INTERPOL Washington, a part of the Justice Department that coordinates with law enforcement agencies around the world, to the U.S. Marshals Service.

There could also be reductions to the department’s tax enforcement division, with attorneys in the division transferred to U.S. attorneys’ offices across the nation.

The memo requested feedback on the proposals by Wednesday. Many of the proposals involve agencies and offices created by Congress, and it’s unclear how easily some of these changes could be executed without congressional approval.

Justice Department officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss proposals that have not been made public, stressed that they are intended to solicit feedback and are not a done deal.

King Charles III experienced unspecified side effects of his cancer treatmentand was briefly in the hospital on Thursday, Buckingham Palace said.

"Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning, The King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

No details were provided on the length of the observation period nor what the king's side effects entailed. He has since returned to Clarence House, one of the royal residences in London.

The monarch's engagements for Friday have been postponed as a result. Charles was scheduled to have four events in Birmingham that he is "greatly disappointed" to have to miss, according to the palace.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General's office confirmed the government failed to properly monitor tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors who crossed the border without parents.

“Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UACs, ICE is unable to facilitate court appearances and has no assurance UACs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, forced labor, or involvement in criminal activities that may pose a risk to local communities,” the DHS inspector general said.

The report, published Wednesday, revealed that, from fiscal years 2019 to 2023, more than 448,000 unaccompanied minors were transferred to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ custody, with the majority then released to sponsors. However, more than 31,000 of the children’s release addresses were blank, missing apartment numbers, or otherwise incomplete.
