Thanks to the Republican win in the house, embattled Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder won by a small margin in this month's national election. According to the party's top member of the Oversight and Reform committee, which has been investigating the NFL team's workplace environment, the team's congressional probe will end early next year. Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said in a brief statement after The Associated Press and other outlets forecast that Republicans had clinched a slim majority in the House for the 118th Congress, which begins on January 3.'It's over.' Since last year, Democrats led by chairwoman Carolyn Maloney of New York and the Economic and Consumer Policy Subcommittee Chairman Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois had been presiding over the investigation. If Republicans win House control from midterm elections, as expected, Comer vowed to bring it to a halt over the summer. The team lauded the decision to dismiss the lawsuit in a tweet by a legal counsel. 'We applaud Rep. Comer's leadership in putting an end to the probe into a private company, which has been properly characterized by sitting members of Congress as a "farce" and a "power abuse,"''s attorneys John Brownlee and Stuart Nash said.

On call with reporters, Blackburn, a member of the Armed Services Committee, was asked if her remarks were contrary to official US policy. 'I feel like Taiwan is a nation.' If Taiwan was not a country why would China be talking about reunification?' The Tennessee Republican asked defiantly.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn landed in Taipei, Taiwan, on board a US military aircraft, marking the fourth visit by a US lawmaker to the island nation in a matter of weeks.

Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves on the Senate's Commerce and Armed Services Committees, was one of a number of Republican senators who supported House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial Taiwan tour last month.
