Steil Subpoenas 15 Cabinet Members for Documents Related to ‘Bidenbucks’
WASHINGTON (June 13, 2024) - Today, Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01), Chairman of the Committee on House Administration issued subpoenas to 15 Biden administration cabinet officials for documents related to the Biden administration’s Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting. President Biden’s Executive Order 14019 directs federal agencies to promote access to voting through the use of federal agency resources. Evidence already shows that the Executive Order partners federal employees with partisan advocates to register voters ahead of the 2024 elections.
As chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Steil began leading an investigation into this Executive Order shortly after it was announced. Steil first requested documents related to the cabinet secretaries work related to E.O. 14019 on May 15, 2024, and to date, has not received any materials in return.
“Elections are partisan, but our election administration should never be partisan. Allowing federal employees from the Biden administration to flood election administration sites threatens election integrity and reduces Americans’ confidence,” said Steil. “This Executive Order is another attempt by the Biden administration to tilt the scales ahead of 2024. I will continue working to provide transparency and accountability on this administration’s latest scheme as Congress did not appropriate taxpayer funds for partisan activities.”
