Rep. James Comer (R-KY) promised that the House Oversight Committee would target waste, fraud, and abuse in the new Congress.

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Comer told host Chuck Todd that the Republican-led committee would investigate the hundreds of billions of dollars in COVID-related funding while accusing Democrats of misusing it to focus on left-wing social issues.

“We’re gonna investigate between 40 and 50 different things,” Comer vowed. “We have the capacity, we’ll have 25 members on the committee, and we’re gonna have a staff close to 70… And let’s just face it, Chuck, over the past two years, the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee haven’t investigated anything in this administration. They’ve investigated the Washington Commanders football team, we’ve had several hearings on social issues that the Oversight Committee has absolutely nothing to do with, issues like abortion.”

“We believe that there have been hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars wasted over the past three years–that spans two administrations– in the name of COVID,” Comer continued.

“We want to have hearings on that. We want to try to determine what happened with the fraudulent unemployment insurance funds, the fraudulent [Paycheck Protection Program] loan funds, some of this money that’s being spent for state and local governments in the COVID stimulus monies… these are things that are going to be priorities for us as a committee,” he added.

In March, Bloomberg’s editorial board said the U.S. Secret Service estimated that $100 billion in COVID relief funds were disbursed due to fraud, corrupt deals, or to dead people. Another study from the Department of Labor found that more than $87 billion in COVID-related unemployment benefits were improperly paid. The Small Business Administration doled out more than $6 billion to recipients it later suspected of fraud. The IRS also reportedly issued more than 2 million stimulus checks, worth more than $3.5 billion, to dead people.

Earlier this week, Comer blamed high-profile Democrats for tarnishing the integrity of congressional probes and promised change once Republicans take over.

“I don’t believe congressional investigations have a whole lot of credibility right now,” Comer told Punchbowl News in an interview. “I blame Adam Schiff for that. But it’s also both parties to blame for investigations in the past. But I really want to change that.”

A Virginia Walmart night supervisor left behind a chilling “death note” before turning the store’s break room into a bloodbath Tuesday night, killing six store employees and injuring six others, the Chesapeake Police Department revealed Friday.

The gunman has been identified by officials as a night supervisor and 12-year employee of the Chesapeake store; he reportedly turned the gun on himself after going on the shooting spree.

“Sorry God, I’ve failed you, this was not your fault but my own,” the gunman said in a note found on his phone. “I failed to listen to the groans of the holy spirit which made me a poor representation of You. I was harassed by idiots with low intelligence and a lack of wisdom. I remained strong through most of the torment but my dignity was completely taken away beyond repair by my phone getting hacked.”

“I can’t say that they were the only ones that lacked intelligence and wisdom, I was just as guilty and failed my management team and everyone that ever loved me by convincing them that I was normal,” the note continued.

“A few months back I had overheard [redacted] talking to [redacted] and he told me that he had been trying to get rid of me since day one. After I heard that I lashed out,” the shooter said. “The associates gave me twisted grins, mocked me and celebrated my downfall the last day. That’s why they suffer the same fate as me.”

The gunman, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, said in the note that his “true intent was never to murder anyone believe it or not,” and he “was actually one of the most loving people in the world if you would get to know me.”

“I just wanted a wife that was equally yoked as I and obsessed over the thought; however, I didn’t deserve a wife,” he wrote.

“My only wish would have been to start over from scratch and that my parents would have paid closer attention to my social deficits,” the note said. “Sorry everyone but I did not plan this, I promise things just fell in place like I was led by the Satan.”

“My God forgive me for what I’m going to do,” the last line read.

As the investigation has progressed, detectives conducted a forensic analysis of the suspect's phone, which was located at the scene. This note was located in the device. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/uCAvAZgYWP

Some Walmart employees said the gunman was targeting specific workers, while also shooting wildly.

“I just watched 3 of my coworkers/friends be killed in front of me,” one employee, Donya Prioleau, said in a Facebook post. “[Redacted] killed them in cold blood … I cannot unsee what happened in that break room.”

Police have confirmed the suspect used a 9mm handgun that was legally purchased from a local store on the same day he went on the shooting spree. The suspect had no criminal history.
