Deep State Accountability Act of 2023
HR 4807, the Deep State Accountability Act of 2023, establishes a Special Counsel to investigate specific former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter about Hunter Biden's emails. The bill requires the Attorney General to appoint a non-partisan Special Counsel with broad authority to investigate alleged abuses of power or election interference involving the 51 named individuals (including former officials like Jim Clapper and John Brennan). The Special Counsel must report to Congress on investigations and submit annual reports, while the Attorney General must provide case details to congressional committees within 15 days. The bill does not create new laws but mandates a targeted investigation focused solely on the listed individuals' conduct.
