Michael McCaul (Texas), the lead Republican on the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Republicans will now be able to\u00a0unearth information about the Biden administration&#8217;s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, its sale of weapons technology to China, and whether President Joe Biden benefited from his son&#8217;s business dealings, among other issues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to have gavels, we&#8217;re going to have subpoena power,&#8221; McCaul told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As the House Foreign Affairs Committee&#8217;s ranking member, McCaul spearheaded investigations into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, the deadly evacuation from Afghanistan, and the administration&#8217;s dealings with Communist China. But without subpoena power, Democrats and the administration were able to obstruct those probes. Now that power has shifted, McCaul said he is ready to &#8220;fully exercise&#8221; the committee&#8217;s jurisdiction by reigniting a slew of investigations into every aspect of the Biden administration&#8217;s foreign dealings.<\/p>\n<p>McCaul, a former counterterrorism and national security chief in Texas&#8217;s U.S. attorney&#8217;s office who this month was reelected for his 10th term in Congress, said\u00a0China will be among Congress&#8217;s top priorities. The lawmaker told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> that he is in possession of documents showing the Biden administration granted export licenses for $60 billion worth of American goods to be sold to Huawei, a top Chinese Communist Party tech company known to be at the forefront of the regime&#8217;s spy apparatus. Another $40 billion in exports was approved for SMIC, another CCP tech giant that produces computer chips.<\/p>\n<p>These sales were approved by the Bureau of Industry and Security, a little-known office housed in the Commerce Department. In the last six months, McCaul said, that office has denied less than 1 percent of the proposed export licenses for China. This information dovetails with recent reports revealing that China has bolstered its hypersonic missile program with American technology <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2022\/10\/17\/china-hypersonic-missiles-american-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">purchased from firms<\/a> that receive U.S. government support.<\/p>\n<p>McCaul said he will shine a light on the Bureau of Industry and Security and will be &#8220;focused like a laser&#8221; on the bureau&#8217;s approval of sales to China.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are we<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congressional investigators are poised to turn up the heat on the Biden administration&#8217;s foreign policy decisions now that Republicans are in control of the House, according to the incoming chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, who told the Washington Free Beacon in a wide-ranging interview that the administration&#8217;s dealings with China, Russia, and Iran will become the center of multiple probes.<br \/>\nThe post Republicans Set To Turn Up the Heat on Biden Administration\u2019s Foreign Dealings appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":1099164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1742742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/117"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1742742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1099164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1742742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1742742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1742742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
