The move comes as Biden touts infrastructure achievements on the campaign trail.
Congressional Republicans are demanding information from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on what they call a "highly questionable" high-speed rail project in California, according to a letter first obtained by ABC News.
But, the "California High-Speed Rail Authority still has not completed a single segment of the system, the total estimated cost has ballooned to $128 billion and counting, and there is no expected completion date," according to the letter from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee, and Missouri Rep. Sam Graves, chairman of the House Transportation Committee.
The lawmakers are now demanding the Department of Transportation brief both committees and provide documents on the status of project, particularly focusing on a recent federal grant of $3 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to the California High-Speed Rail Authority.
