Trafficking Survivors Relief ActOPPOSE
“I do want to respond to the gentleman. I do want to respond to the gentleman and tell him today is that open invitation. He and I know that this is a lot of work, work that is factually based. It is not just showing up--and I don't doubt anything he has said--but showing up with the evidence of who, how, where, why did this happen, and what is being done. I would just say that the gentleman knows that our Government Operations Subcommittee is ready and open and available--that he would have to admit here on the floor-- on a bipartisan basis.”

Fraud Prevention and Accountability ActOPPOSE
“Mr. Comer has begun telling the story about H.R. 8312, Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act, which we today will discuss, but I think it is important that we probably tell a story because this has two tales, but one truth to it. The bottom line is that our friends, if they oppose this today, it is because they are embarrassed.”

“Mr. Speaker, what we have heard today is a continuation of this lame excuse of politics and on Donald Trump. The gentleman from California did allude to it but really did not get into much more of the data. The bottom line is from 9/30/20, 2/25/23, 6/30/23, 7/28/23, 3/22/24, 4/12/24, 10/1/24, each of these people were nominated by the distinguished gentleman, the former President of the United States, Mr. Biden. This is not political.”
