Republican Gov. Brian Kemp will spotlight his record and his agenda when he’s sworn in Tuesday for a second four-year term as governor of the swing state of Georgia.

Kemp, who defeated a Donald Trump-backed challenger in last spring’s GOP gubernatorial primary before comfortably topping Democratic star and voting reform activist Stacey Abrams in November’s general election, will give his inaugural address at Georgia State University’s convocation center, just a couple of blocks from the state Capitol in downtown Atlanta.

The governor’s advisers say Kemp’s inaugural address will focus on his record of economic success in his first term and cast a vision for his second-term priorities, which they say include ‘inflation relief, helping students overcome learning loss and continuing to bolster economic growth in rural, suburban and urban areas throughout the state.’

While steering Georgia is priority No. 1 for the governor, Kemp is also looking to have an impact outside the Peach State. Kemp, a former state senator who later won election as secretary of state before winning the governorship in 2018, raised eyebrows last year by forming a federal political action committee.

‘We just want to have an impact federally if we can to be helpful for good Republicans that are running for office,’ Kemp said in an interview with Fox News Digital last month. ‘We built something pretty special here in the state with the ground game that we haven’t had in our state. And we want to be helpful in the future, and this gives us an avenue to do that for federal candidates.’

The new PAC could also be used to lay the groundwork for a possible Senate run in 2026, when the term-limited Kemp’s eight years as governor come to a conclusion. First-term Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia will be up for re-election in 2026.

Asked about a potential Senate run in 2026, Kemp said, ‘I’m concerned with getting our state budget put together, getting ready for a legislative session.’ But, he added, ‘I haven’t ruled in or out anything.’

Ralph Reed, the founder of the evangelical Christian political group Faith and Freedom Coalition and a past chair of the Georgia GOP, told Fox News: ‘I’ve worked every statewide race in Georgia for over 40 years, and Brian Kemp is one of the most formidable and effective politicians and elected officials I’ve ever seen in my career.’

Reed, who was state party chair when Kemp first won election to the state Senate two decades ago, pointed to Kemp’s growing stature nationally. 

‘I think he’s a major player in the party, and he’s going to have a voice and I think it will be a valuable one,’ Reed predicted.

Veteran Republican strategist Jesse Hunt, pointing to what he said is the governor’s track record of ‘methodically taking on the big issues rather than just talking about them,’ argued that ‘the Brian Kemp model is one that, moving forward, more Republicans need to try to replicate.’

‘There’s a certain segment of politician that believes that merely fighting about it on social media or cable news is sufficient in our voters’ minds,’ Hunt said. ‘The reason you saw such an impressive performance by Brian Kemp in the primary and in the general election is because he actually got things done,’ which Hunt said was attractive to independent and apolitical voters. 

But Hunt, a former top communications official at the Republican Governors Association and the GOP’s House and Senate campaign committees, emphasized that Kemp also ‘championed issues that are near and dear to conservative hearts.’

Kemp’s PAC could also allow the governor to play a role in the burgeoning GOP presidential nomination race. Two months ago, former President Trump launched this third campaign for the White House. 

Four years ago, with the support of Trump, Kemp narrowly defeated Abrams to win the governorship. But Kemp earned Trump’s ire starting in late 2020, after the governor certified President Biden’s narrow victory in Georgia in the presidential election following multiple recounts of the vote. 

Trump, who had unsuccessfully urged the governor and other top Republican officials in the state to overturn the results, returned to Georgia twice to campaign against Kemp. But in last May’s GOP primary, the governor crushed former Sen. David Perdue, who Trump had backed in hopes of ousting Kemp.

After noting that his focus is far from the 2024 presidential race, Kemp added there’s ‘going to be a lot of great Republicans running for higher office all around the country, I think, in 2024 — a lot of people I know. And I think they’ll have certainly a lot to bring to that table. We’ll just have to see, you know, which ones that ends up being.’

Senior Democratic lawmakers took to Twitter shortly after the House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires doctors to provide care for infants born alive after a failed abortion, to criticize the Republicans who supported the ‘extreme’ bill.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Vice President Kamala Harris were among those who responded.

‘Today, instead of joining Democrats to condemn all political violence, [House Republicans] chose to push their extreme anti-choice agenda,’ Pelosi tweeted Wednesday. 

She added: ‘Democrats believe everyone deserves the freedom to access reproductive health services – without fear of violence, intimidation or harassment.’

Pelosi, who retired from Democratic leadership after Republicans retook the majority in the 2022 midterm elections, repeated her remarks in a second tweet.

‘Democrats will always defend reproductive freedoms against extreme Republicans who disrespect a woman’s right to choose the size and timing of her family,’ she said. And, ‘These are serious, personal decisions that must be made by women guided by faith, physician and family — not by politicians.’

Schumer, who did not vote on the bill as he is a senator, responded similarly.

‘The MAGA Republican-controlled House is putting on display their extreme views on women’s health with legislation that does not even have the support of the American people,’ he wrote.

The vice president also made her opinion known.

‘House Republicans passed an extreme bill today that will further jeopardize the right to reproductive health care in our country,’ Harris tweeted. ‘This is yet another attempt by Republican legislators to control women’s bodies.’

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act says any infant born alive following an abortion attempt or that survives the abortion is a ‘legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States.’

Doctors and healthcare workers would have to keep the child alive as a ‘reasonably diligent and conscientious healthcare practitioner would render to any other child born alive.’ A child born at an abortion clinic that does not have adequate care facilities would be responsible for transporting the child to a hospital.  

It is already illegal for doctors and nurses to deny care to individuals. 

Nearly every House Democrat on Wednesday voted against the legislation, which passed 220-210.

All the ‘no’ votes came from Democrats, who claim the bill could endanger more children or further complicate medical decisions.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat from Texas, voted for the bill, while Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, also from Texas, voted ‘present.’

Other Democratic leadership in the chamber echoed Pelosi, Schumer, and Harris’s remarks, criticizing Republicans over the ‘extreme’ position.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, tweeted: ‘We will always defend a woman’s freedom to make her own reproductive healthcare decisions.’

Minority House Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., said the ‘extreme’ bill was akin to ‘assaulting reproductive justice.’

‘Instead of building on our nation’s legacy of progress, defending freedom, and standing for equality, the extreme @HouseGOP has made assaulting reproductive justice the cornerstone of its agenda,’ she wrote.

The Democratic Women’s Caucus also dressed in white to collectively show ‘resistance to the extreme MAGA Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda.’

Republicans struck a much different tone — claiming Democrats were the ones with an ‘extreme’ view after they opposed a bill that intends to keep the live-born child alive and to receive normalized care.

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., a candidate for House speaker, added several ‘mind-blown’ emojis in a tweet where he said Democrats opposed the Born Alive Act.

Later, he criticized Democrats for voting against a bill that condemned attacks on pregnancy centers across the country.

He said: ‘Democrats’ position on abortion is so extreme that 209 members voted AGAINST a House Resolution condemning the recent attacks on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches. Shameful.’

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, added: ‘Tonight we voted on the Born Alive Act. It is utterly non-controversial to every normal person but a hard NO from nearly every Democrat in Congress. That’s crazy.’

‘The Democrats are far too extreme on this issue and NOT in line with the American people. At all,’ he also said. ‘The Born Alive Act protects babies born alive after an attempted abortion.’

And: ‘This makes it REQUIRED for health care workers to give survivors the same medical care as any other baby in order to save the child’s life.’

The Texas Republican concluded: ‘This should be very simple: They deserve to live.’

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Col. similarly called the Democratic position ‘sick and radical.’

The Born Alive Act is not likely to clear the Senate, where Democratic members hold a majority. 

The Penn Biden Center lies at the heart of the latest Biden controversy but in some ways remains shrouded by mystery.

The White House revealed earlier this week that classified documents were discovered at the Washington, D.C. office for President Biden’s think tank, the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, in early November. On Wednesday, news broke that another trove of classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president had been discovered at another location, leading to louder calls for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate the president’s handling of such documents. 

The Biden Center has since found itself in the middle of a firestorm, leading to renewed questions on the likes of Chinese donations to the University of Pennsylvania, which houses the think tank. Hunter Biden is also shown to have discussed the center in emails before its launch.

Within weeks of leaving the vice presidency under former President Barack Obama in January 2017, Biden became the ‘Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor’ at the University of Pennsylvania, an honorary position, and the ‘Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement’ was launched in Washington, D.C. the next year.

However, discussions about the elder Biden’s future involvement with Penn long predated the end of the Obama presidency, according to emails from Hunter Biden’s infamous abandoned laptop, which have been verified by Fox News Digital.

On April 25, 2016, Creative Artists Agency (CAA) agent Craig Gering emailed Hunter with ‘confidential notes from our meeting,’ in which Gering listed apparent plans that were discussed for the vice president upon leaving office. 

One of those plans included ‘wealth creation,’ with no further explanation, and another included an apparent reference to the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., with a possible job opportunity for Hunter.

‘The Biden Institute of Foreign Relations at the University of Pennsylvania,’ Gering’s email read. ‘Focus on foreign policy. In addition to the institute at U of Penn, the school has an existing office in DC that will be expanded to house a DC office for VP Biden (and Mike, Hunter and Steve?). Operates like The Clinton Global Initiative without the money raise.’

Hunter then confirmed Gering’s notes but emphasized that they needed to be ‘very confidential’ because they were not set in stone. 

‘Yes,’ Hunter replied, ‘in theory that’s the way I would like to see it shake out— BUT please keep this very confidential between us because nothing has been set in stone and there’s still a lot of sensitivity around all of this both internally and externally. He hasn’t made any decisions and this could all be changed overnight.’

Just 10 days earlier, Hunter was scheduled to attend a meeting with his father and then-university President Amy Gutmann, according to an email of Hunter’s schedule from Rosemont Seneca Vice President Joan Mayer. It is not clear if the meeting at the White House actually took place, but it was scheduled almost exactly one year after Hunter and his then-wife Kathleen hosted Gutmann for a private dinner at Cafe Milano, a Georgetown institution in Washington D.C., according to an April 2015 email from a Penn official to Kathleen and Hunter. The guest list ‘comprised of Academy Members (significant donors), trustees, Overseers, and Penn parents’ from UPenn, another email read.

Hunter’s lawyer and the White House did not respond to Fox News Digital inquiries on the matter.

Joe Biden left the vice presidency on Jan. 20, 2017, and was hired as a professor at Penn less four weeks after that, where he was paid a total of $776,527 in 2017 and 2018, which was nearly double what full-time Penn professors made during the same time, Philadelphia magazine reported in 2019.

The magazine reported at the time that the former vice president’s professorship was ‘really more of speaking residency,’ and that, [h]e’s been on campus so infrequently that it becomes news when he actually is there,’ which was a total of six times.

The Penn Biden Center had its official opening in February 2018, where Joe signaled he had spoken with Gutmann when he was still vice president about becoming a ‘professor’ and being able to bring his own team with him to UPenn.

‘President Gutmann, when you came to me before the [Obama] administration was up and asked me whether I [would] consider to be a professor at Penn, the first thought I had was that it sounded like an intriguing idea, but it became even more intriguing after the outcome of the [2016] election when you said I could bring along with me some serious, serious people,’ Biden said during the opening ceremony in February 2018.

‘Serious staff people and much more than staff and they start with Tony Blinken and Steve Ricchetti and others, so thank you for allowing me to bring along some really, really bright people,’ he added.

In 2019, Biden took an unpaid leave of absence from Penn after he announced his presidential campaign.

As president, Biden selected Gutmann to be the U.S. Ambassador to Germany. David Cohen, the former chairman of Penn’s board of trustees who was also at the Penn Biden Center’s opening, was tapped by the president as the U.S. Ambassador to Canada.

On Monday evening, the White House revealed that classified documents dating back to Biden’s time as vice president were discovered at the Penn Biden Center in November. The president’s personal attorneys then handed the documents over to the National Archives and Records Administration.

On Wednesday, Fox News confirmed that aides to Biden discovered at least one more batch of classified documents from his time as vice president in Biden’s possession. The news has prompted calls from Republican lawmakers for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate Biden’s handling of classified documents.

During the North American Leaders Summit in Mexico City Tuesday night, Biden said he was ‘surprised’ to learn that classified documents had been found at the Penn Biden Center.

‘They did what they should have done. They immediately called the [National Archives] … turned them over to the Archives, and I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office,’ Biden said. ‘But I don’t know what’s in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what documents they were.’

The Penn Biden Center’s mission statement says it was founded on ‘the principle that a democratic, open, secure, tolerant, and interconnected world benefits all Americans,’ and that it works to continue Biden’s fight ‘to secure American global leadership by defending and advancing a liberal international order.’

Fox News Digital previously reported that at least 10 senior Biden administration officials have been hired to their current or former positions after stints at the Penn Biden Center, including current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl and White House counselor Steven Richetti. Blinken and Richetti both served as managing directors while Kahl was a strategic consultant at the center.

Since the Penn Biden Center opened, the University of Pennsylvania has come under a microscope over its influx of foreign donations, particularly from China.

Penn took in roughly $77 million in gifts and contracts from China between 2014 and 2020, The Daily Pennsylvanian previously reported. Further, the Washington Free Beacon noted that foreign donations to the university tripled in the two years following the Biden Center’s opening in 2017, with most of the money coming from China. 

Penn also struggled to explain a $3 million donation from 2019 from a Hong Kong shell company tied to Chinese national and businessman Xu Xeuqing. A university spokesperson previously said the donation came from Chinese national Xin Zhou, but the Free Beacon reported it could not identify a connection between Xin and Nice Famous Corporation Limited, where the gift originated.

The university has also received at least $12.8 million in gifts from China between March 2020 and June 2022, according to a review of the Department of Education’s foreign gift reporting database. Additionally, the university reported at least $2.8 million in China contracts between July 2020 and January 2022.

‘The Penn Biden Center has never solicited or received any gifts from any Chinese or other foreign entity. In fact, the University has never solicited any gifts for the Center,’ Penn’s vice president of communications Stephen MacCarthy told Fox News Digital in a statement. 

MacCarthy said that since its inception, two American donors provided three unsolicited gifts totaling $1,100 for the Biden Center and that ‘one hundred percent’ of the center’s budget is from university funds.

‘Penn is fully compliant with federal law regarding the reporting of foreign gifts and contracts, as foreign gifts are all properly reported to the U.S. Department of Education as required by Section 117 of the Higher Education Act,’ MacCarthy said.

Republicans want a special counsel to investigate Biden’s handling of classified information after the two troves of documents were located this week. Garland has appointed John Lausch, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, to review the matter.

The revelation that classified documents were found in Biden’s possession comes months after a similar situation related to former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents. Following a months-long dispute between Trump and the Department of Justice, FBI agents executed a search warrant of the former president’s home in Mar-a-Lago to recover some 300 classified documents.

Fox News’ Thomas Catenacci and Cameron Cawthorne contributed to this report.

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans led by GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik are pushing a bill to hold the Biden administration accountable for any action it takes that may contribute to inflation.

The ‘REIN IN Inflation Act’ would require the Biden administration take into account inflation before enacting any executive action and improve its communication and transparency with Congress. 

It would require an inflation report by the Office of Management and Budget and the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors for any action estimated to cost over $1 billion.

Stefanik, R-N.Y., is joined by House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo., and House Committee on Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., as co-sponsors to the bill.

The lawmakers introduced similar legislation last Congress, but now that Republicans have the majority in the House, they are hopeful the Biden administration will be held to account. A GOP aide pointed out that, since last year, Biden has added to excessive spending by pushing his $400 billion student loan handout plan.

The current debt ceiling is $31.38 trillion, and the government is on the verge of hitting that cap.

‘Already, the new Republican majority is working to fulfill our Commitment to America and create an economy that is strong, which begins with this critical check to rein in the Biden administration’s reckless policies fueling inflation,’ Stefanik told Fox News Digital.

The consumer price index rose 7% in December from a year ago, according to a new Labor Department report released last month, marking the fastest increase since June 1982, when inflation hit 7.1%.

The CPI, which measures a bevy of goods ranging from gasoline and health care to groceries and rents, jumped 0.5% in the one-month period from November. New CPI numbers are expected to be released on Thursday.

‘The new Republican House majority is committed to honoring the promise we made to the American people to stop the reckless spending that ignited and continues to fuel inflation, which has risen 14.3% since President Biden took office,’ added Ways and Means Chairman Smith.

‘That’s exactly why we’re fighting to hold President Biden accountable for his radical executive actions that will cost taxpayers over $1 trillion and counting and has thrown more fuel on the inflation fire.’

Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Republican legislators in the House of Representatives after they voted 220-210 to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

Posting to the VP account Wednesday night, Harris called the bill ‘extreme’ and said it ‘will further jeopardize the right to reproductive health care in our country.’

Harris also claimed House Republicans are attempting to ‘control women’s bodies’ with the legislation.

The bill would require immediate medical attention for babies who are born alive after an attempt was made to abort them.

It also deems an infant born alive after an attempted abortion a ‘legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States.’ 

Doctors would be required to care for those infants as a ‘reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive.’ They would also be required to admit infants to a hospital for further care.

Any doctor who violates that standard would face fines and imprisonment up to five years, or both. The bill does not penalize the mother.

Almost all Democrats in the House voted against the act, with 210 nays. Only one Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, voted in favor of the bill — and one other Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, voted ‘present.’

Many Democrats opposing the bill argued it is a way for the GOP to outlaw abortion, though the bill places no new limits on abortion and focuses on the care that would be required of an infant who survives an attempt.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said the bill would set up new requirements that ‘directly interfere with the doctors’ medical judgment and dictate a medical standard of care that may not be appropriate in all circumstances.’

Nadler, and other members of his party, also argued taking the infant to a hospital may not be in the ‘best interest of the family.’

‘I find it absurd, I find it unconscionable that this would be a matter of discussion on this body, that we would not render medical aid to the most innocent amongst us, an unborn child that is born alive after the most traumatic circumstances possible,’ said. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis.

‘This is not about a woman’s access to abortion,’ Orden said. ‘This is about the sanctity of life and the basic dignity of a human child.’

The bill now heads to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where it is likely to fail.

Fox News Digital’s Peter Kasperowicz contributed to this report.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Republican from Texas, pushed back on criticism and ‘toxic trolling’ he received after missing votes in the new 118th Congress, which officially began on Saturday but had its first legislative debates and votes earlier this week.

Laura Loomer, a political activist and failed congressional candidate, and others took to Twitter to call out the Texas lawmaker over his absence, which he admitted to and unapologetically defended.

‘Yes, Laura, it was on purpose,’ Crenshaw said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon. ‘I flew to San Diego for a funeral for a friend and active duty SEAL.’

He added: ‘Kindly delete your toxic and obsessive trolling if you don’t mind.’

The tweet responded to Loomer, 29, who called Crenshaw a RINO [Republican In Name Only] and said he was ‘the ONLY Republican who skipped the vote’ to form a new subcommittee. 

‘He also skipped the Rules Package vote,’ Loomer added in the tweet. The vote on the rules is typically the first vote held after the body chooses a speaker and swears in new members, as it dictates how members and the body will govern during the session.

Loomer, who does not shy away from controversy and has subsequently found herself banned from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Uber, and PayPal, did not delete the post.

Instead, she doubled down in a tweet saying lawmakers ‘don’t have the luxury of skipping work for sick days, funerals, or days off.’

Crenshaw defended his absence in response to another user, who similarly noted the lawmaker missed votes on the rules package and the creation of the new committee, ultimately passed and will investigate the weaponization of the federal government under the Biden administration.

‘I missed some votes this week on account of a funeral in San Diego for my friend and fellow SEAL. Being with my brothers was simply more important,’ Crenshaw said.

‘Thankful that my obsessive trolls on Twitter noticed my brief absence,’ he continued in the tweet.

Crenshaw ultimately returned to Washington, D.C., to support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which provides legal protections to any infant born alive after an attempted abortion.

The bill, which ultimately passed 220-210, says the newly-born child is recognized as a ‘legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States.’

Doctors would then be required to care for the infant as a ‘reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive.’

Republicans widely supported the Born Alive Act and it was opposed mainly by Democrats — all but two of which voted against it. 

‘Tonight we voted on the Born Alive Act. It is utterly non-controversial to every normal person, but a hard NO from nearly every Democrat in Congress. That’s crazy,’ Crenshaw said on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

He added: ‘The Democrats are far too extreme on this issue and NOT in line with the American people. At all.’

The bill will not likely clear the U.S. Senate, where Democrats hold a majority.

Loomer ran for Florida’s 11th Congressional District seat in 2022 but lost in the Republican primary. She also lost in 2020, after she earned the Republican nomination for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, to incumbent Rep. Lois Frankel, a Democrat, by a wide margin.

An Illinois lawmaker introduced new legislation that would pave the way for a regulated psychedelic therapy program.

Democrat La Shawn Ford presented the Compassionate Use and Research of Entheogens Act, or ‘CURE Act,’ as the first bill during the opening session.

The legislation establishes the Illinois Psilocybin Advisory Board within the Department of Health to allow for the advertising and making of recommendations regarding regulations and provisions of psilocybin and psilocybin services.

It will also allow the department to begin receiving applications for licensing of people and manufacturers to assess psilocybin mushrooms and products, operate centers and facilitate psilocybin services.

Also included in the bill are the grounds for establishing rules, taxes, fees, zoning, labeling and penalties.

Since 2019, cities like Ann Arbor, Michigan, Somerville, Massachusetts, and Cambridge, Massachusetts have decriminalized the possession, use and propagation of psychedelic mushrooms, the legislation reads.

Washington, D.C. also passed an initiative in 2020 to deprioritize the enforcement of laws that regulate psychedelic mushrooms with 76% voter approval.

More cities and states followed suit.

Now, Ford says people in Illinois deserve more tools to address mental health issues, including use of psychedelic plants and fungi.

The law, if approved, would allow for personal use and sharing of some controlled substances, including for group counseling, community-based healing and other services. What the law will not do, though, is change any restrictions on driving while impaired.

The legislation will also allow for the creation of a psychedelic therapy program that allows adults ages 18 and older to seek psychedelic therapy from a trained specialist at a licensed service center.

‘I’ve been seeing more and more legitimate scientific evidence, including information coming from the FDA, showing that psychedelic therapy is not only safe, but also very effective, particularly for the toughest patients for whom other treatments have not worked. At the same time, I am also hearing from patients and from their medical providers, that Illinoisans should have access to these exciting new treatment options,’ Ford said in a press release.

A South Carolina Republican Congressman is introducing a resolution that could, if passed, place a bust of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the U.S. Capitol.

The resolution was introduced by Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., on Monday and would direct the Fine Arts Board to obtain a bust of Zelenskyy ‘for display in the House of Representatives wing of the United States Capitol.’

‘Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the Fine Arts Board to obtain a bust of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for display in a suitable, permanent location in the House of Representatives wing of the United States Capitol,’ the resolution states.

The resolution doesn’t have any cosponsors, but it already has opposition from a Republican.

‘There is now a House resolution that seeks to put a display of Zelenskyy’s head in the US Capitol. Was the $100+ billion to Ukraine not enough?,’ Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in a Tweet.

A spokesperson for Wilson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Just days after President Biden visited the southern border in El Paso, Texas, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, announced the opening of a new soft-sided processing facility that nearly doubles the number of immigrants it can house at a time.

The primary purpose of the new facility, CBP said in a press release, is to safety and expeditiously process individuals in Border Patrol custody.

CBP officials said they consistently review operational requirements to help determine if more facilities are needed. In this case, the facility offers more capacity to help augment the current Central Processing Center, which has a capacity of 1,040.

El Paso was chosen for the location of a new facility because it is central to the El Paso Sector Border Patrol stations throughout West Texas and New Mexico, the release read.

With just over 153,000 square feet of space, the facility sits on 2.9 acres, is weatherproof, climate-controlled, and is expected to provide plenty of space for eating, sleeping and personal hygiene.

In December, the facility was bursting at the seams. Now it is less than full capacity, according to a dashboard on the City of El Paso’s website, with 745 migrants in custody.

The El Paso sector saw an average of 2,150 daily migrant encounters in mid-December, which since the beginning of January, has dropped below 1,000 per day.

When Biden visited the border on Sunday, it was the first time in his two years in office.

CBP sources have confirmed that migrant camps in El Paso began before the president’s visit, and it was in response to community complaints, including from the El Paso Police Department.

CBP sources also said the number of illegal crossings in El Paso have plummeted since last month’s chaos climaxed.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked by Fox News’ Peter Doocy on Wednesday why the president did not want to see what was really going on at the border.

‘He did see exactly what’s going on at the border,’ Jean-Pierre replied.

Doocy then stated that Biden did not talk to any migrants or to the border to see where the crossings were occurring, asking why.

‘He went to the migrant center, which was a critical place to be,’ Jean-Pierre said. ‘There happened to be no migrants at the facility at the time that he visited.

‘El Paso did go down significantly prior to the president’s visit, by about 70%,’ she added. ‘That’s a good thing…That’s a good thing that we’ve seen the numbers go down.’

Jean-Pierre also said the president’s visit had nothing to do with the numbers going down.

Biden visited the border at El Paso for between three and four hours, his first visit as president and the first verified border visit of his lengthy career in politics.

EXCLUSIVE: House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers is demanding answers from the Pentagon on whether President Biden’s improper storage of classified information resulted in any ‘damage to national security,’ and information on whether Defense Department officials are working in coordination with the U.S. attorney assigned to review the matter.

Rogers’ letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News, comes after the White House on Monday revealed the discovery of classified records from Biden’s time as vice president at the Penn Biden Center.

On Wednesday evening, Fox News confirmed that Biden aides had found at least one more batch of classified documents, kept at a separate location from the Penn Biden Center office in Washington, D.C., which was a space he used in the years after he was vice president.

Rogers wrote to the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie, and Director of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency William Lietzau, asking whether they have been asked to cooperate with U.S. Attorney John Lausch, who is investigating the matter.

Lausch, a Trump appointee who serves as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, was assigned in 2018 to handle the Justice Department’s interactions with Congress concerning former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s ‘improper handling of classified information,’ Rogers wrote Wednesday night. He said that material included emails found on her private email server that were classified at a ‘higher level than Top Secret,’ as well as ‘highly classified information that requires exceptional controls to protect unauthorized disclosure.’

Rogers wrote that the two officials and their agencies ‘maintain particular expertise to evaluate intelligence and counterintelligence threats posed by individuals and insight into the proper means of handling classified material.’

‘I write to inquire whether you have been contacted to cooperate with U.S. Attorney Lausch’s review and/or are conducting an independent investigation based on your own authorities,’ Rogers wrote. He said it is ‘critical to assess whether possible national security damage, particularly to DOD equities, resulted from any improper storage, handling, or disclosure of classified information stored in a closet of a non-governmental entity like the Biden Center.’

Rogers said it is ‘necessary to determine whether highly classified material found in the closet have potentially placed Americans in harm’s way if disclosed to those without the requisite clearance or need to know or accessed by individuals intending malfeasance or worse.’

‘It is imperative this Committee be kept informed about the nature of the classified date if it touches upon service members’ safety, DOD’s operations, or the protection of DOD assets,’ Rogers wrote.

Rogers gave the officials a Jan. 25 deadline to provide a description of the subject matter of the classified documents and their classification level; whether any of the material was provided by or pertained to the Pentagon or associated defense intelligence agencies; and any access control records for the documents while they were in Biden’s possession as vice president.

Rogers also asked for a list of people the Pentagon has identified with knowledge of the location of the storage of the classified information at issue, including any DOD personnel, and any documentation concerning the transfer of the records or information on who was present when the classified documents were found.

Rogers also asked for the status of the Defense officials’ communications with Lausch.

Lausch has been leading the investigation into the classified documents, which were discovered by the president’s personal attorneys on Nov. 2, 2022.

Fox News has learned that investigation is at ‘an inflection point,’ and has taken place over several weeks.

A source told Fox News that the next steps in the matter are at the discretion of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The attorneys found the documents in a locked closet while preparing to vacate office space at the center, which the president used from mid-2017 until he began the 2020 campaign.

White House Counsel Richard Sauber said Monday that the National Archives were notified of the findings and took possession of the documents on Nov. 3, 2022.

‘The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives,’ Sauber said in a statement. ‘Since that discovery, the President’s personal attorneys have cooperated with he Archives and the Department of Justice in process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives.’

Garland appointed Lausch to review the matter.

The discovery of the records comes just months after the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, and seized classified documents.

Biden, at the time, slammed Trump for being ‘irresponsible’ for keeping classified documents.

Under the Presidential Records Act, all documents from a president’s administration and staff must be turned over to the National Archives.

Jack Smith, a former assistant U.S. attorney and chief to the DOJ’s public integrity section, was appointed as special counsel to investigate the records seized from Mar-a-Lago.

Trump, who launched his 2024 White House bid in November, told Fox News that he will not cooperate with that special counsel investigation.

‘When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?’ Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. ‘These documents were definitely not declassified.’
