The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led by Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), has released a report summarizing its activities and achievements during the first session of the 119th Congress. The document, titled “Restoring America Through Oversight: A 2025 Year in Review from the House Oversight Committee,” outlines the committee’s efforts in various areas.
According to the report, the committee held over 50 hearings, passed nearly 40 bills, and conducted 35 depositions and transcribed interviews throughout 2025. The review highlights investigations into what it describes as “the Biden Autopen Presidency,” politically motivated discrimination within the U.S. financial system, federal government efficiency, national security issues, and oversight of Washington, D.C.’s public safety policies.
Chairman Comer stated: “The House Oversight Committee continues to live up to its reputation as the committee that never sleeps and is delivering results for the American people. We exposed the Biden Autopen Presidency, the greatest political scandal in U.S. history, and the Trump Administration is now delivering accountability. We held NPR and PBS executives accountable for using taxpayer dollars to fund propaganda, and Congress took action to defund them. We acted to keep Americans safe by codifying President Trump’s executive orders to make Washington, D.C., safe again and by holding sanctuary mayors and governors accountable for allowing criminal illegal aliens to roam free in our communities. We also exposed Biden’s Green New Deal scam, in which the Biden Administration funneled taxpayer dollars to line the pockets of Democrat-aligned organizations. Our work is not done and will continue our robust oversight in the new year to ensure the federal government operates efficiently, effectively, and transparently for the American people.”

The committee’s agenda shaped much of Congress's legislative focus during 2025.
