LIVE: Oversight hearing with Capitol Police inspector general

The House Administration ⁢Subcommittee on Oversight to Hold Hearing with Inspector General⁣ of U.S. Capitol Police

The ⁣House Administration‍ Subcommittee on Oversight ​is⁢ set⁢ to hold an​ engaging‍ hearing ‌on Wednesday, featuring testimony from the ⁤esteemed ⁣inspector​ general of the⁤ U.S. ⁢Capitol Police.

Inspector​ General ‍Ron Russo ​will take the ‍stage before the committee on Capitol Hill, ​delivering⁢ his insights and‍ findings. This ‌comes in the wake of his recent‌ internal ​review ⁢of⁣ the department’s hiring processes, which revealed a shocking statistic. According to ⁣Russo’s investigation, a‍ staggering 48% ‍of Capitol⁤ Police ⁣applicants were failed by ‍a screening company on inspector general“>pre-employment⁣ psychological evaluations. To ‌put this into perspective, the‍ national ⁢average ⁢for ⁢such failures ‌stands⁢ at‍ a⁢ mere⁣ 16%.

Concerns Raised and Action ⁣Taken

It was House‌ Administration Committee ‌Ranking⁢ Member ⁣Joseph ⁣Morelle (D-NY)‍ who⁢ initially raised concerns about the ‌screening⁤ firm, Global Consortium LLC. In response, Russo promptly ‍initiated⁢ his review ‍in January, and⁤ the ⁣results​ were⁢ nothing short ‌of ‌alarming. Morelle ‍and⁣ others described the conclusions as “wide-ranging and deeply troubling.” Consequently, Capitol⁣ Police Chief J. ​Thomas Manger⁣ made⁢ the decision to⁢ terminate the‌ contract with‍ the screening company.

As the nation‌ eagerly awaits this ​significant‍ hearing, it is ⁢worth ‍noting that⁣ several ⁣other ‌high-profile hearings are also⁤ scheduled to⁤ take place on ‌Capitol Hill​ on Wednesday. ‌The‍ House Oversight Committee,‍ for instance, will be graced by the‌ presence of⁢ two IRS agents who will shed light‌ on ‍the alleged politicization of⁢ the Hunter Biden ​investigation.

Make sure to mark your calendars‍ for ‍this ​captivating⁣ event. The House ‌Administration Subcommittee’s hearing will‍ commence‌ at 2⁤ p.m. EDT on Wednesday.
