D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has agreed to testify at a congressional hearing on crime, homelessness, and the city’s finances in mid-May.

The planned hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Accountability follows a hearing last month where Republicans hammered D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, Councilmember Charles Allen (D-Ward 6), and D.C. Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee on everything from crime and public schools to speed cameras and homelessness.

The GOP faced pointed criticisms about their selection of witnesses for the hearing — Mendelson, Allen, Lee, and D.C. Police Union head Gregg Pemberton are all white men — prompting committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) to invite Bowser for a separate hearing on May 16.

While Comer offered Bowser the chance to testify alone, she responded in a letter Wednesday that she will be joined by City Administrator Kevin Donahue and D.C. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III.

Since taking the majority earlier this year, House Republicans have taken a more aggressive stance towards D.C., pledging to use their powers of oversight to delve into the city’s local affairs. The successfully led an effort to block a D.C. bill that revised the city’s criminal code, and plan on voting as soon as next week on another resolution that would repeal a police accountability bill passed by the council late last year.

Congressional Democrats and many local officials have decried the Republican interference as political theater aimed at painting Democrats as soft on crime ahead of next year’s elections. That same type of theater will play out next week in New York City, where the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on crime under Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who led the investigation that led to the indictment of former president Donald Trump earlier this month. Bragg has called the hearing a “political stunt.”

House Republicans also said Wednesday they will hold a hearing next week to investigate a March data breach at DC Health Link, the city’s health insurance exchange, that resulted in personal data from thousands of people — including congressional staff, members of Congress, and senior government officials — being posted on the internet. CyberScoop has reported that the hacker behind the breach may have targeted the health insurance exchange out of allegiance to Russia.

“The breach of D.C. Health link data put thousands of individuals at risk, including Members of Congress, congressional staff, and family members. The individuals who trusted the D.C. health exchange to keep their personal health data secure are rightly concerned about the potential consequences of this breach on their personal lives. They are relying on us to investigate how it took place, how it could have been avoided, how the fallout can be mitigated, and how to prevent a recurrence,” Reps. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) and Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) said in a statement.

Mila Kofman, the executive director of the D.C. Health Benefit Exchange Authority, will testify before the committee.

“The investigation is still ongoing, and we will provide more information as we have more to share,” said Adam Hudson, a spokesman for the health exchange. “D.C. Health Link is working with third party forensic experts to conduct a comprehensive review and to strengthen our security defenses. We can confirm that we were invited to the hearing and plan to testify, and we continue to collaborate with Congress, members, and their staff as we have been doing since the beginning of this incident.”
