In a letter addressed \u2064to Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and Space Command&#8217;s Gen. James Dickinson, Rogers demanded the release of documents related to the decision.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Your refusal to abide by the Committee&#8217;s repeated requests for documents and transcribed interviews can only be considered obfuscation and purposeful\u2064 delay, highlighted by the fact that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schweizer-beijing-has-leverage-over-biden-family-this-demands-investigation\/\" title=\"Schweizer: 'Beijing Has\u00a0Leverage' over Biden Family -- 'This Demands Investigation'\">basing decision<\/a> was decided while the Committee&#8217;s requests are outstanding,&#8221; Rogers wrote on Thursday. &#8220;This is unacceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rogers expressed frustration with the officials&#8217; failure to provide transcribed interviews, which he had requested by Aug. 18. He warned that if compliance is not met, he will resort to issuing subpoenas \u200bfor the\u2062 relevant documents.<\/p>\n<h3>Investigation Launched to Reverse the Move<\/h3>\n<p>As part of his efforts to challenge\u200b the decision, Rogers initiated an investigation into the ruling \u2064to reverse \u200dthe move. The original plan, under \u2062former \u200dPresident\u2062 Donald Trump, was to relocate the base\u2063 to Huntsville. Rogers stated, &#8220;The Biden administration&#8217;s shameful delay\u200b to\u2064 finalize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-armed-services-chairman-demands-documents-on-space-command-colorado-decision\/\" title=\"House Armed Services chairman requests documents on Space Command Colorado decision.\">permanent basing decision<\/a> for U.S.\u200b Space Command warranted the opening of a\u2063 Congressional investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The decision to keep the command in \u2063Colorado was made with President Biden acting \u200bas the tiebreaker,\u2063 despite opposition from some Republican lawmakers like\u2062 Rogers and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). These lawmakers accused the\u2064 White House of politicizing the military, while White House officials defended the \u2062decision, citing concerns about military readiness.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers concluded his letter by requesting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-state-legislature-passes-fetal-heartbeat-abortion-bill\/\" title=\"Texas state legislature passes fetal heartbeat abortion bill\">specific time frame<\/a> for the delivery of the transcribed interviews and materials by \u2064Aug. 9, emphasizing\u200c the need for a forthright response to the Committee&#8217;s requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE TO READ\u200d MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) has demanded documents regarding the Biden administration&#8217;s choice to retain the U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado.
