House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) has taken a significant step in his investigation into President Joe Biden’s executive order, dubbed “Bidenbucks,” by issuing subpoenas to five Biden administration officials. The subpoenas demand sworn depositions from these officials after their agencies failed to comply with previous requests for documents related to the order.

President Biden’s Executive Order 14019, which critics refer to as “Bidenbucks,” aims to turn federal agencies into get-out-the-vote centers across all states. The order has drawn comparisons to “Zuckerbucks,” the $400 million provided by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in 2020, which was allegedly funneled through left-leaning nonprofits to boost Democratic voter turnout.

Chairman Steil’s subpoenas, sent on Wednesday, target officials from the Departments of Labor, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Justice, and Agriculture. These agencies were previously asked to provide strategic plans detailing how they intend to implement the executive order. However, the agencies did not comply with the original subpoenas issued in June.

“Americans deserve transparency and trust in their elections,” Steil said in a statement. “However, the Biden Administration has refused to comply with a lawfully issued congressional subpoena and cooperate with our investigation into their plan to use federal agencies to ‘get out the vote.'”

Steil has emphasized the need for these officials to explain their strategic plans and how they are implementing them. His actions reflect growing concerns among Republicans about the use of federal resources to influence voter turnout and the potential impact on election integrity.

As the investigation continues, Steil and other House Republicans are determined to ensure that the administration provides the transparency and accountability that they believe the American people deserve, particularly in matters that could affect the fairness of upcoming elections.
