The House Oversight Committee canceled its scheduled hearing with Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser after the Metropolitan Police Department cleared an anti-Israel encampment at George Washington University (GWU). The hearing was initially set to address the city's response to the pro-Palestinian protests and the encampment on the university campus. Prior to the clearance, Rep. Comer and other lawmakers had visited the encampment, which had prompted concerns about antisemitism and unlawful activity. Following the police action, which resulted in the arrest of 33 individuals, committee Chair James Comer announced the cancellation of the hearing, stating that the city had finally addressed the issue.
