Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) says Congress should exercise its authority over government to push through changes in the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the safety and well-being of the American people.

“I believe that the Department of Justice has been weaponized,” Mr. Roy told Shannon Bream during an Aug. 6 interview on Fox News Sunday. To demonstrate his point, he referenced multiple instances, including those targeted for their pro-life position.
