A witness at the center of a House GOP investigation into the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border has allegedly been retaliated against for their cooperation, prompting lawmakers to open an inquiry into possible government interference.
Republicans on the House Oversight and Homeland Security committees sent a letter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Friday demanding information about the reassignment of Gregory Bovino, who said he was “relieved of his command” after conducting a transcribed interview with lawmakers earlier this month. Bovino previously oversaw the El Centro Sector of the border before he was “indefinitely” reassigned to report to the CBP office in Washington, D.C.
However, Bovino was later informed “within hours” of that interview that he would be “relieved of command … effective immediately” and would be placed on a temporary duty assignment, according to the chairmen. The allegations have ignited concern of government interference into the congressional investigation, prompting the committee chairmen to open an investigation into the matter.
