Chairmen Green, Pfluger Applaud Reported Disbanding of Politically Biased DHS “Intelligence Experts Group”
House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) and Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX) released the following statements after reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will disband its so-called “Intelligence Experts Group” after massive public outcry, oversight by the Committee, and a lawsuit against the Biden administration:
“The fact that DHS so quickly disbanded the ‘Intelligence Experts Group’ following this Committee’s rigorous oversight work and a private lawsuit shows how much they fear Americans knowing the truth about their actions,” Chairman Green said. “DHS’ decision to appoint and empower individuals who spread the Russia collusion hoax shows the Biden administration’s disregard for the truth. This Committee will continue to root out any departmental effort that undermines the homeland security mission in favor of blatant partisan corruption—whether it takes the form of official boards or not.”
