WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Biden administration and Justice Department officials have made a budget request to Congress asking for an additional $34 million so that the House January 6 committee can continue its investigation, NBC News reported on Thursday.
However, it is unclear if Congress will accede to the request in a major funding bill planned for December as midterms approach, the current Congressional term winds to a close and lawmakers wrestle with budgetary priorities. It will likely be the last appropriation for the panel if it gets it because House Republicans have promised to kill the panel if, as expected, they regain control of the House after the midterms, the report said.
