Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the House Judiciary Committee will hold the first subcommittee hearing on the alleged 'weaponization' of federal agencies, particularly the Justice Department, on Thursday.
Rep. Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee will hold the first subcommittee hearing on the alleged"weaponization" of federal agencies, particularly the Justice Department, on Thursday.
The subcommittee is expected to hear from two former FBI agents on how the bureau has become overly politicized, the Washington Examiner exclusively learned. Ex-agents Thomas J. Baker and Nicole Parker are expected to share what they view as the FBI's transformation into a partisan agency they say has targeted the public and their constitutional rights, per a copy of their testimony.
The hearing is not supposed to follow a specific inquiry, but rather aims to establish the committee's goals and lay out the problems Republicans have with several federal government agencies. It is part of a broader plan that the GOP vowed to pursue after gaining the House majority in the 2022 midterm elections last year to investigate the Biden administration and several departments.
Jordan has already sent subpoenas to the administration over the FBI. On Friday, the subcommittee subpoenaed FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, asking for documents that show the Justice Department and its umbrella agencies allegedly targeted parents at school board meetings. Jordan is also gearing up to investigate President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents.
