Rep. Van Drew Holds First Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing as Chairman Recently, I held my first House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight hearing as its chairman, during which we examined the weaponization of the Justice Department under the Biden administration. From federal agencies to local prosecutors, we saw the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI turn into tools for political law fare. Whether it was President Trump or everyday citizens speaking out, the justice system was manipulated to serve political agendas, not the rule of law.

As we move forward, this Subcommittee will continue to expose these abuses, restore accountability, and ensure that the DOJ serves everyone impartially and without bias.
