House Republicans Vow ‘Rigorous’ Oversight of DHS Disinformation Board

The House Homeland Security Committee will conduct “rigorous” oversight of the Department of Homeland Security’s disinformation board, committee Republicans wrote Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Thursday (see 2205040061 and 2205050056). “Your recent testimony and media statements regarding the board, as well as a recent briefing for Committee staff, have only created more questions and concern,” said the letter led by ranking member John Katko, R-N.Y. “This Committee will carry out rigorous oversight of this board.” He noted committee members can obtain information from the Homeland Security Advisory Council and other bodies: “There are standards that must be met for the sake of transparency.” DHS didn’t comment.
