"It is deeply disappointing that this House of Representatives has turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon," the attorney general said in a written statement after the vote, which he said "disregards the constitutional separation of powers, the Justice Department's need to protect its investigations, and the substantial amount of information we have provided to the Committees. I will always stand up for this Department, its employees, and its vital mission to defend our democracy."

Republican leaders' thin margin of control means they're unlikely to hit Biden's Department of Justice in any major way during the current government funding debate.
House Republicans landed a big political punch against President Joe Biden on Wednesday, just hours before they're set to welcome Donald Trump to the Hill. They almost certainly can't do more before November.
GOP leaders' thin margin of control in the House, however, means they're unlikely to hit Biden's Department of Justice in any major way during the current government funding debate.
Conservatives who believe the White House is within their reach want to pack their pro-Trump priorities into this summer's lineup of spending bills " such as yanking money from DOJ special counsel Jack Smith or blocking new funding for an FBI headquarters.

And that support among Republicans simply isn't there.
