House Judiciary subpoenas FBI for docs pertaining to bureau's alleged misconduct under Biden admin

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Monday subpoenaed the FBI for information and documents related to its investigation into alleged misconduct that occurred in the bureau during the Biden administration.

The committee previously subpoenaed the bureau for the documents during the 118th Congress, but Jordan claimed former FBI Director Christopher Wray failed to produce the necessary material. 

Jordan accused the FBI of departing from its "public safety mission," under the Biden administration and Wray's leadership in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, and claimed it also "refused any real transparency or accountability for its actions."

"When President [Donald] Trump nominated you to serve as the Director of the FBI, he rightly called you an 'advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution' who will 'bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI,'" Jordan wrote. "During this critical time in the FBI’s history, when Americans deeply distrust the FBI, it is important that you succeed in restoring public confidence and creating much-needed transparency."

The chairman asked Patel to provide records related to the Biden administration's "insertion of federal law enforcement into local school board meetings," the Richmond field office's memorandum that labeled traditional Catholics as "violent extremists," and Wray's alleged "slow-walking" of the investigation into the January 6 pipe bombs.

He also asked for records and documents related to the FBI's alleged use of confidential human sources on January 6, and the administration's alleged collusion with technology companies to censor free speech, among others.

Jordan requested that all the information be turned over to Congress by March 17.
