Fox News The House Oversight Committee is investigating the Biden-Harris administration’s alleged use of taxpayer-funded resources to fly Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to battleground Pennsylvania ahead of the November presidential election, Fox News Digital has learned.  House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., penned letters to the White House, the Pentagon and the Justice Department on Wednesday seeking documents regarding the administration’s alleged “misuse of government resources” to allow Zelenskyy to allegedly “interfere in the 2024 presidential election.”  “In 2019, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives impeached President Donald J.

The Beau Biden Foundation, which works on behalf of vulnerable children in his late son’s memory, has also been an important passion of the president and First Lady Jill Biden.  “I’m less concerned about what my legacy is,” Mr. Biden, 81, told “The View.” “Although I’m leaving, I’m not going away, because there’s so many other things I want to do in terms of the Biden Institute on foreign policy, Biden Institute in Delaware on domestic policy, to keep the things going that we started. And I think we’ll get it done.” READ…
