Notes from Mike's Desk from the Week of July 17 – 21, 2023

Hello, friends! Thank you for subscribing to my weekly newsletter highlighting what’s happening on Capitol Hill and in Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District. I’m always grateful when you recommend this resource to others.

IN THE HOUSE

The facts here sound like a dystopian novel, but this is actually happening: A growing list of the most important Biden Administration agencies have been corrupted and weaponized to cover up the crimes of the First Family. With each passing day, our committee uncovers new evidence of this Administration’s abuses of power—and the extraordinary censorship effort to conceal them. EVERY American should be alarmed by this. 

I tried to summarize the situation in my clip from Thursday’s Weaponization Committee hearing with RFK Jr., Emma Jo Morris, and John Sauer. 

On Tuesday, Jim Jordan and I sent FBI Director Christopher Wray a letter providing him the opportunity to correct the record regarding his testimony before Congress. Some of the things he said on the record clearly contradict the evidence and findings of the court in Missouri v. Biden. Either he was being untruthful, or he is unaware of the egregious and unconstitutional activities of his agency. Neither scenario is acceptable. Read about the letter here:

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK

We had many friendly faces from back home on visits in Washington this week. I enjoyed speaking with the Louisiana Bankers Association on Wednesday about crucial matters facing the industry and how best to support a growing economy in Louisiana.

It was also a privilege to speak with the national conference of Christians Engaged this week. This is one of the key ministries in America working to equip and empower believers to stand for truth and make an impact on public policy and the direction of our country. “For such a time as this!”

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Following the House Oversight Committee’s whistleblower hearing concerning interference in the Hunter Biden investigation, I joined Mornings with Maria on Fox Business to discuss House Republicans’ efforts to bring this information to light. The facts I relayed here are truly disturbing, and we will continue to follow them wherever they lead. 

LAGNIAPPE

Congratulations to my former colleagues in the Louisiana Legislature, who stood up for children – and against the Governor – by voting to override this veto. This is a huge win for parental rights and common sense. Children will NOT be mutilated in the south.

Thank you again for subscribing and reading. We’ll have more next week!

For freedom,
