WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup blocked the Trump administration's decision to end the unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
GILBERT, ARIZONA – Last night, the Department of Justice (DOJ) acquiesced to a congressional demand to turn over any documents related to the Russian dossier and to make available key witnesses for Capitol Hill testimony. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
It is a great honor to serve in Congress. This year has been an exciting and busy one. I promised that I would introduce a series of bills: repeal Common Core; Grant's Law to prevent catch-and-release immigration programs, require Congress to balance a budget or forfeit salary; require Congress to live under the same laws that it requires all Americans to live under (such as Obamacare); divide Arizona out of the uber-liberal 9th Federal Circuit and join other Western states in a new 12th Judicial circuit; and the REINS Act to reduce onerous federal regulations.
When the full story comes out about 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the FBI, it will be the "scandal of a lifetime," Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Thursday.
Representative Andy Biggs (R) penned an op-ed in USA Today calling for special counsel Robert Mueller to recuse himself in the investigation into Russian meddling into the 2016 election due to an "investigation [that] is clearly careening far beyond the scope of his original charge."
An Arizona Republican is calling on special counsel Robert Mueller to recuse himself from the investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia in an op-ed published Wednesday.
Writing in USA Today, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said Mueller's investigation has gone "far beyond the scope of his original charge."
In May, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Today, Mueller's investigation is clearly careening far beyond the scope of his original charge. Unfortunately, taxpayer resources are being used to scrutinize anyone and anything that fits into a preconceived notion that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign to "fix the election."
You may be wondering why the House had to approve the tax-reform bill twice last week—before and after the Senate vote—even though a committee had resolved all differences between the bodies. Your confusion is justified.
Originally each chamber passed a different tax plan. A committee of representatives and senators overcame the differences and produced a compromise bill. The House voted for the compromise and sent it to the Senate. But before the Senate could vote on the agreement, an unelected official required that some agreed-upon provisions be removed.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Biggs released the following statement after voting against the short-term government funding bill:
"Since 1996, Congress has adopted over 100 continuing resolutions (CR), bypassing its responsibilities to authorize spending under regular order. In that same time, the national debt has nearly quadrupled, leading this country to the brink of financial bankruptcy. Once again, Congress is too afraid to make the tough decisions to balance our budget.
