Elise Stefanik.    <\/p>\n<p>The House committee was established to investigate the allegations. &#8220;weaponization of government&#8221; As Republican members prepare for an ambitious oversight agenda that addresses issues Democrats neglected to address while they were in power, they will not waste any time before exercising their subpoena powers.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Elise Stefanik (R.N.Y.), says the Select Subcommittee on the Warization of the Federal Government is made up of members who are proficient in using weapons. &#8220;dig,&#8221; After having their requests to see witnesses and documents ignored by the majority, they are now hungry for answers. The committee was founded just a week ago. Its first actions were focused on matters Stefanik, her colleagues and others have been focusing on for years. Stefanik says it\u2019s time for answers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Time is of the essence, we understand that,&#8221; Stefanik said the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>. &#8220;Almost all these document requests have already been issued. There is a process, and we will follow that process, but we will leave no stone unturned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik is now the fourth-ranking House Republican. She rose to prominence in the party following her effective cross-examination during the impeachment hearings in 2019. It was the Republican defense of President Donald Trump that unites the party. This showcased Stefanik as a New York moderate who works well with outspoken Freedom Caucus members like Rep. Jim Jordan (R. Ohio). Stefanik is thrilled that the two of them will again join forces on the Weaponization Committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will tell you, working with Jim Jordan in the past, we know how to dig, dig, dig, how to follow and pull these threads,&#8221; Stefanik said. &#8220;I\u2019m really looking forward to continuing that in this important committee. This committee is going to be some of the most important work of this majority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Armed with subpoena power that comes with the gavel, the committee is letting witnesses know that ignoring it won\u2019t be an option.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan, the committee\u2019s chairman, on Friday issued letters to five subjects and indicated that subpoenas will follow if respondents are unresponsive. Witnesses who were called to testify are <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/the-nurse-ratched-of-disinformation\/\">Nina Jankowicz<\/a>The TikTok star, who was to be the head of a &#8220;disinformation&#8221; board for the Biden administration\u2019s Department of Homeland Security.
