Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) is sending another subpoena to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Elvis Chan after Chan’s scheduled interview fell through.
Chan did not appear at his September 15th interview because he left the country.
The House Judiciary Committee is calling for Chan to discuss his role on the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF).
The FITF worked with social media platforms to censor speech in 2020.
“After your failure to appear for your scheduled transcribed interview on September 15, 2023, you were issued a deposition subpoena compelling you to appear before the Committee on September 21, 2023,” the letter states. “Based on representations that the date of your deposition conflicts with the dates of your official travel, as an accommodation, the Committee is issuing you a new deposition subpoena that compels your appearance on October 5, 2023.”
In previous testimony, Chan lied about his work to censor the Hunter Biden laptop.
Internal Facebook documents showed Chan engaged in more meetings with the social media company than he originally suggested.

Reporting from The Daily Caller:
House Judiciary notified Chan before his scheduled interview that he was allowed to be legally represented by either his personal counsel or an attorney from the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to emails shared Thursday on Twitter by the committee. The DOJ brought a staff attorney to the scheduled interview, even though Chan agreed to be represented by his personal attorney, and the interview fell apart as a result. “Today, after an FBI employee traveled across the country to voluntarily participate in a scheduled interview, he was denied the right to have his chosen legal counsel accompany him,” the FBI previously told the Daily Caller in a statement. “Upon arrival at the Capitol, Committee staff directed agency counsel to leave the premises, and the interview was unable to proceed.”
