When the Trump-Taliban deal was signed, attacks by the Taliban against the Afghan security forces and police went up by an average of 70 percent a day.

The historic passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act last Congress provided us the opportunity to begin to address some of the most pressing issues in my district.

I am curious what your thought is, is to have a, essentially, a separate part of the court that is solely designed to address the needs of unaccompanied minors.

I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will support that request because I think we all are concerned, or at least should be concerned, about unaccompanied minors coming into the country and providing the services that they…

We also need to make sure that... we explore all options for monitoring and eliminating terrorist threats emanating from Afghanistan.

When President Biden inherited this withdrawal and made the decision to delay the deadline for moving all U.S. troops by I believe it was 5 months, the former President did not say that this was a reasonable step to protect U.S. service…

Goldman said it well, accountability is important, but accountability does not begin in January 2021.

It is clearly the No. 1 threat.

One American can make a difference.

I introduced a bill to make sure that there is an assessment of terrorist threats posed by those prisoners.

This is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power that they are going around talking incessantly outside of this hearing about Donald Trump.

I've asked the Chair and other Members of House leadership to tell the American public what kind of collusion they have been doing with Donald Trump to use the power of this Committee and of this Congress to interfere in this prosecution.

I want to tell you that's very, very intentional because they know that they are using taxpayer money to defend a private citizen in his own criminal investigation and that is an abuse of their power.

My constituents are very concerned that these smears related to Mr. Soros-supported prosecutors are anti-Semitic.

That is a fundamental effort to overturn our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power.

They are trying to influence... Alvin Bragg in some way and influencing a prosecutorial decision or witness testimony or otherwise, can be obstruction of justice.

Let's not pretend the witness at that hearing wants this bill to be the legislation in order for social media and law enforcement to coordinate. I am happy to work with the chairman on that, but it is not this bill.

Just briefly, we were at that Twitter hearing when the former general counsel of Twitter and of the FBI suggested that there needs to be legislation in order for social media companies to properly coordinate with law enforcement, and we…

I would like to respond briefly because there is all this talk about collusion between the Biden administration and the FBI and Twitter, and you can say it as many times as you want to say it, and it still doesn't make it so because there…

I hope that is a portion of the President's budget that we can have some bipartisan support for to continue that kind of work.

Dr. Jost, in your written testimony, you mention that the Chinese government 'is interested in using its capabilities to . . . promote narratives that are consistent with its interests.'

The best way to counter the Chinese Communist Party's ambitions is to safeguard our values, our elections, our sovereignty, and our diversity.

It is imperative that Members of Congress and political leaders do not allow our legitimate critiques of the CCP and China's government to veer into anti-Asian stereotyping and prejudice that fuels hateful violence.

We cannot allow the CCP to invade our sovereignty with spy balloons, influence our elections, or threaten democracies around the world.

The Chinese Communist Party and China's government pose legitimate threats to the United States that must be taken seriously.
