Article Summary

This article describes how Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman Comer, are holding more roundtables instead of formal hearings — a shift Democrats claim is designed to block their ability to force votes and issue subpoenas, especially in high-profile investigations like the one into Epstein. Democrats argue this change weakens oversight, while Republicans say roundtables allow more meaningful discussions with the public. The article highlights growing tension over how investigations are conducted and what counts as real accountability.
