Congressional committees are overseeing the activities of the FBI and the Central Intelligence Agency as lawmakers compete for committee chair positions. U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro is expected to become chair of the House Appropriations Committee, which controls how the government spends money. DeLauro stated she will focus on the affordability crisis and tracking down funds appropriated by the government that may have been misused by the Office of Management and Budget and the Administration.
