Washington, D.C. – House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik has made strong statements regarding the ongoing issues of election interference and corruption. Stefanik recently joined her House colleagues to address various concerns, including her official ethics complaint against Jack Smith for illegal election interference against President Donald Trump. She emphasized her commitment to holding accountable those who engage in corrupt practices.

Stefanik expressed her dismay at the lack of action from elite colleges and universities in condemning antisemitism and ensuring the safety of Jewish students on campus. Referring to a recent incident at Columbia University, she stated, “The university leadership has lost complete control. It is a disgrace, and it is untenable.” Stefanik reiterated her dedication to addressing these issues and expanding oversight efforts within the House Republican party.

Regarding the legal proceedings against former President Trump, Stefanik condemned what she described as "Democrats’ corrupt and desperate witch hunts." She criticized the criminal trial led by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, labeling it as a baseless attempt at election interference. Stefanik highlighted the unjust nature of the charges brought against Trump and emphasized the need to end such politically motivated investigations.

In response to the situation, Stefanik took decisive action by filing an official complaint with the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility against Joe Biden’s special counsel Jack Smith. She accused Smith of engaging in illegal election interference and expressed her determination to fight against what she views as unjust lawfare and corruption.

Stefanik’s efforts align with the broader legislative agenda of House Republicans, who are focused on protecting America’s public lands and supporting small businesses. She emphasized the importance of oversight and legislative work in addressing critical issues facing the country.
