Republicans to curb Government Accountability Office probes of private sector if they win House
Fox News
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., wants to make sure the GAO stays focused on ways to improve government performance and saving taxpayer funds, which is GAO's stated mission.
But Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the likely chair of the House Oversight and Reform Committee if Republicans win, says GAO has strayed from that mission. He wants to push GAO to refocus its work on government oversight if the GOP takes over. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
"Republicans believe GAO … must be focused on the efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of the federal government and all its agencies," Comer told Fox News Digital in response to questions about a new GAO report that went beyond government oversight.
