Comer cancels DC antisemitism hearing after Bowser, police 'finally' dismantle GWU encampment
Fox News
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser's potential oversight hearing prompted "swift action" to clear the George Washington University encampment.
"It was unfortunate the situation at GW forced the Oversight Committee to act; however, it was apparent that the DC police force was not going to do their job," Comer added. "Therefore, after meeting with GW leadership and touring the encampment, we decided to hold a public hearing to get answers as to why the Mayor would not uphold the law. I am pleased that the potential Oversight hearing led to swift action by Mayor Bowser and MPD Chief Smith. We will continue to hold D.C. officials accountable to ensure our nation’s capital is safe for all." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

Bowser and Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith held a press conference earlier Wednesday announcing that 33 people had been arrested at GWU since Tuesday night, when MPD changed their posture at the encampment that had been ongoing since April 25. Charges include unlawful entry, or trespassing, and assault on a police officer, Smith said.
