Jim Jordan (R-OH) has issued subpoenas to Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland of the Department of Justice.
“This new information suggests that the FBI’s use of its law enforcement capabilities to intrude on American’s First Amendment rights is more widespread than initially suspected and reveals inconsistencies with your previous testimony before the Committee."
Internal document procured from Facebook suggests that the agent, Elvis Chan, lied about conversations he had with the tech giant concerning the high-profile October 2020 revelations involving Hunter Biden and his father, Joe Biden.
Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) says the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) assertion that it only met with Facebook once regarding Hunter Biden's "laptop from Hell" is false.
"It is just as unconstitutional – and thus illegal – for the US Government to violate the First Amendment by proxy – through so-called private companies – as if the government directly attacked our free speech."
Emails obtained by the House Judiciary Committee found that the White House and Biden officials pressured Facebook to censor Americans, violating First Amendment Rights.
"Since the Committee's subpoena to Meta, we have obtained additional evidence that the federal government has coerced or colluded with technology, social media, and other companies to moderate content online," Jordan states in his letter.
