The George Wash­ing­ton Uni­ver­si­ty encamp­ment was cleared by the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Police Depart­ment ear­ly Wednes­day morn­ing after two weeks of grow­ing ten­sions.
May­or Muriel Bows­er was expect­ed to appear at a hear­ing from the House Over­sight Com­mit­tee lat­er on Wednes­day but said she spoke with Rep. James Com­er (R‑KY) about focus­ing her day on the prob­lems on cam­pus. She said she expects the hear­ing to be pulled based on that con­ver­sa­tion.
Com­er con­firmed he would be pulling the meet­ing. 

🚨Fol­low­ing the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Police Depart­ment final­ly clear­ing out the unlaw­ful encamp­ment on GW’s cam­pus, I am very pleased to announce that the hear­ing with DC May­or Bows­er has been canceled.@GOPoversight will con­tin­ue to hold DC offi­cials accountable.Statement below.👇 pic.twitter.com/IVkgd …
