Yesterday, U.S. Senators Rand Paul and Gary Peters announced the appointment of Senator Ron Johnson as the chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The announcement was made by Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, and Peters, a Democrat from Michigan, who serve as chairman and ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Senator Johnson expressed his gratitude for the appointment, stating: “I am honored to serve as chairman of the powerful Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. This subcommittee’s investigatory record spans decades and its reputation for conducting thorough oversight and exposing wrongdoing is unparalleled. It is my privilege to build on that legacy.”

Johnson also emphasized his intention to work collaboratively with Ranking Member Richard Blumenthal and other members of the subcommittee. He added, “I look forward to working with Ranking Member Richard Blumenthal and other members of the subcommittee to uncover the truth on issues that are important to the American people. My hope is that the subcommittee’s work will be largely non-partisan. There should be nothing partisan about revealing the truth.”

The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has a long-standing history of conducting significant investigations in various areas, maintaining a focus on oversight and accountability.
