Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) of the House Judiciary Committee, James Comer (R-KY) of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, and Jason Smith (R-MO) of the House Ways and Means Committee have jointly issued this demand.
"The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of how and to what extent the Executive Branch has coerced and colluded with companies and other intermediaries to censor speech."
"Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated."
The demand is for "documents and communications related to the Judiciary Committee's and Weaponization Select Subcommittee's investigation into major banks sharing Americans’ private financial data with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) without legal process for transactions made in the Washington, D.C., area around Jan. 6, 2021."
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.
