House Republican demands Garland appoint special counsel to investigate Biden over stalled Israel aid
Fox News
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., asked the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate and possible prosecute President Biden over delayed military aid to Israel.
"This wrong headed and dangerous policy decision comes on the heels of the decision to the delay on the pending sale of Joint Direct Arrack Munitions (JDAMs) and Small Diameter Bombs (DSBs) to Israel. This delayed action by the Administration is arguably a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) and subsequent Supreme Court case law," she said in the letter, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.The ICA "outlines clear requirements for any deferral of budget authorities by the President and these requirements have been ignored by the Biden administration," Tenney wrote. "As such, I therefore demand that a special counsel be appointed to investigate, and if necessary, prosecute, any illegal actions by President Biden or his staff concerning the inexplicable delay of aid to Israel."

The letter noted how on April 23, the House "overwhelmingly" passed H.R. 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, which was signed into law as part of a larger emergency aid package. "This bill appropriated funds in support of Israel's ongoing military operations against Hamas. Congressional intent with this legislation is clear: this aid is urgently needed and must be delivered as expeditiously as possible. However, instead of following the law, the Biden administration has delayed the delivery of this essential aid that has already been obligated," Tenney wrote.
