House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday ordered the entire administration of President Joe Biden to preserve all records and communications in the waning days of the outgoing Democrat administration as former President Donald Trump’s team prepares to take over.

Johnson, Breitbart News has learned exclusively, has sent letters to all 18 federal Departments ordering them to retain and preserve documents. This could become an explosive storyline if outgoing Biden administration officials attempt to delete or destroy documents that shed light on some of the radical policies they pursued or scandals with regard to censorship or other major storylines of the past four years, such as the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan or the wide open border. If anyone is caught destroying any records, that could lead to serious federal criminal penalties—and with President-elect Trump’s team coming in to take over on Jan. 20, 2025, the new incoming administration will find all evidence on this front.

This effort from Johnson is a sign Republicans are far more prepared during this transition to a Trump administration than they were the first time around when Trump won his first term back in 2016, and suggests they mean business when it comes to rooting out corruption across the federal government as Trump assembles his Cabinet and Republicans on Capitol Hill prepare for next year.
One such letter, sent to Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su, makes clear that Congress per Johnson intends to pursue such documents and evidence as the administration changes hands during and after the transition.

“As we begin preparation for a new Trump Administration and new Congress, we fully expect your cooperation in a smooth transition of power,” Johnson wrote to Su. “To that end, it is imperative that during the transition you comply with all statutory record retention requirements, including but not limited to the Federal Records Act. In addition to compliance with federal record retention laws, we are also expressly directing that all necessary steps be taken to preserve relevant Department documents and communications.”
Eighteen versions of this letter, which many other House Republicans, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Majority Whip Tom Emmer, among others, also signed, have per a senior Johnson aide been sent across the federal government to every major Cabinet secretary in the Biden administration.

In the next paragraph of the letter, Johnson zones in on specific things he is focused on oversight-wise during this process. He highlights the border, Afghanistan, government censorship, weaponization of the government against conservatives, and antisemitism as key examples.
“During the 118th Congress, House Committees conducted robust oversight concerning the Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous border policies, tragic Afghanistan withdrawal, collusion with social media companies to suppress free speech, and weaponization of federal agencies against its political opponents, as well as the antisemitism at our nation’s universities enabled by leading Democrats,” Johnson wrote.

Johnson also noted that the Biden administration refused to comply with many lawfully-issued subpoenas during this Congress, and that in the end of this Congress and in the next one—Republicans have held their House majority and picked up the U.S. Senate majority in addition to winning back the White House—Congress will be enforcing these thus-far blown-off subpoenas.
“In the waning days of this Congress, House Committees will continue to seek compliance with many of the subpoenas with which you largely declined to cooperate,” Johnson wrote. “Likewise, as the 119th Congress begins, the Committees may determine that it is necessary to reissue certain subpoenas as they continue with their oversight efforts.”

I don't think we have heard the last from Jillary. I'm betting she has a couple more daggers left to plunge into the Democrats over the next couple months. She is not a woman whose scorn you want directed at you.

One good thing about this meeting is Democrat voters will now realize they've been lied to by the elected Democrats when they insisted Trump is Hitler and Democracy will end, etc.

Just kidding - I know Democrat voters aren't smart enough to put that together.

I'd like to hope that, but there are way too many people on the left that bought into the orange man rapist, felon, fascist, evil, dictator, hitler gaslighting that they've been hearing for a year to change their minds on a simple hand shake.

Humiliation for Biden as he's shoved to back of 'family photo' with world leaders while China's Xi gets front-row spot

President Joe Biden arrived five minutes after the other leaders for the 'family photo' at APEC - Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation


The president has refused to answer questions throughout the trip, while other world leaders are buzzing
about the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump


WHERE'S JOE? President Joe Biden was situated in the back and to the side during the APEC 'family photo' on Saturday,
while Chinese President Xi Jinping is front-and-center

Well, the employees are usually in the back row during company photos.

I look forward to the day we’ve cared so little about DementiaJoe for such a long time that this thread is auto pruned.

I’ve already started replying to statements about him with “Who?”

I am not a physician, but I have been in health care for 60 years!

I have had numerous conversations with Doctors concerning Bideñ´s “Frozen face”.

The Frozen Face is a symptom of Parkinson’s,
Especially Rapid Onset Disease. I think that diagnosis is better than Alzheimer’s!

I invite other health care professionals join this conversation! Thoughts and opinions, please.

The masked facies and stiff shuffling gait can suggest Parkinson's, but it doesn't have to be either or, because dementia eventually affects the majority of Parkinson's patients.

Biden escalating the war since the Democrats lost the election. Going to be a dangerous time between now and Jan 20th.

US President Joe Biden has given Ukraine permission for the first time to strike Russian territory with US-supplied long-range missiles, a US official told AFP on Sunday. Biden's decision comes as he prepares to hand over power to President-elect Donald Trump, who has pledged to halt US aid to Ukraine.

Doesn’t that old piece of shit have to run that through Congress first?

What a perfect way to end your disaster of a Presidency LOL

Seems like along with 60% of the Electoral College and 51% of the US popular vote, the rest of the world is looking forward to leaving ole Joe behind…

I don't know which "journalist" is frantically screeching at him, but odds are that it's someone who has covered up for this fraud for her entire career as a "reporter".

Frankly, I find this funny and satisfying. You wanted him, baby, you got him.

I certain she wanted to ask him important questions, like which flavor of ice cream he had for lunch.

Biden admin quietly loosening immigration policies before Trump takes office — including letting migrants skip ICE check-ins in NYC

https://nypost.com/2024/11/21/...yc-ice-appointments/

The Biden administration is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the US illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration crackdowns and mass deportations, sources tell The Post.

And the Big Apple will be ground zero for these changes.

The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.

Homeland Security sources tell The Post the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.

Even when it’s working correctly, the new app doesn’t check for past arrests or outstanding warrants — something the current system tied to in-person appointments does, sources said.

Up to 100,000 migrants will be enrolled in the first wave of the program, sources said.

That’s just one of a handful of initiatives being pushed through before inauguration day — including allowing migrants to contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking while they await their immigration appointments.

And experts said rolling back the policies might not be as simple as Trump waving his pen, because changes could be subject to both procedural hurdles and legal challenges.

“A lot of lawsuits get filed, maybe frivolously, but it just kind of stalls what the administration wants to do,” one DHS source said.

Former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan slammed the Biden administration’s last-minute moves as “the opposite of a peaceful transition of power.”

“This is an obstructionist transition,” said Morgan.

“What they’re trying to do in the last final day, they’re going to try to put up as many roadblocks and obstacles and throw as many grenades as they can on their way out.”

Morgan added that he believes that Trump’s move to abolish the new Biden policies could be slowed down by court challenges — which were effective in blunting Trump immigration policies in his first administration.

In New York City’s field office, where the app will launch, ICE is already overwhelmed by the number of illegal migrants roaming the streets.

As of early last year, the office was already “fully booked through October 2032” for appointments to process migrants released into the US, according to an official document previously reviewed by The Post.
