House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer expressed disappointment with what he described as a lack of follow-through by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on criminal referrals stemming from his committee’s investigations during a Thursday interview on “Straight to the Point.”
The Oversight Committee’s X account posted on Dec. 26 that in 2025 the panel held 54 hearings, passed 38 bills, sent over 200 letters, and conducted 26 transcribed interviews, nine depositions and eight markups, host Catherine Herridge noted during the interview. She asked Comer whether any arrests, prosecutions or convictions resulted from the committee’s probes.

“We had a lot of resignations. We had resignations of people from the D.C., police chief to the head of Secret Service to many different bureaucrats and agency heads,” Comer said. “But at the end of the day, I’ve been disappointed in some of the criminal referrals that are collecting dust on Attorney General Bondi’s desk.”
“I’ve made that very clear with the White House,” he continued. “I’m hopeful that we’ll see some action soon on the criminal referrals that range everywhere from Dr. Fauci to the Biden family influence peddling scheme.”
Comer also expressed confidence that the DOJ would make arrests and bring criminal charges against individuals tied to alleged fraud in Minnesota in 2026.
