I'm Virginia Allen. I'm John Popp. And this is the Daily Civil Top News for Monday, January 9th.

Here are today's headlines.

There is a new chair for the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Tennessee Republican Representative Mark Green defeated Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw

to win the role as head of the Homeland Security Committee.

Green is a combat veteran. He also serves on the House Freedom Caucus.

After his victory earlier today, Green wrote on Twitter that his top priority as chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security

is ending the border crisis President Biden created.

Green also wrote that he is grateful for his friendship with Crenshaw

and looks forward to working with him to address national security challenges.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to create two new investigative panels

to earn the support of Republicans who were refusing to back him.

The panels are slated to investigate both the origins of COVID-19 and the weaponization

of Biden's federal law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and Justice Department,

according to a report from just the news.

The committees will look at instances like the FBI investigating parents after an organization

compared them to domestic terrorists. The COVID panel will also invest a government funding

of gain-of-function research.

Florida Republican Representative Greg Stuby told Justa News the panels will do the type of things

that a good Republican Congress and Judiciary Committee do.
