In a letter to White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, Jordan demanded records on how the executive branch coerced and colluded with companies to censor speech. The request comes as Jordan&#8217;s committee has been investigating allegations that the Biden administration pressured Big Tech to suppress dissenting views.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan&#8217;s panel had previously asked the White House for information on its relationships with private sector entities, but the request was declined. Jordan dismissed the argument that the panel should seek the information from executive branch agencies, emphasizing that some of the materials sought are unique to the Executive Office of the President (EOP). In his letter, Jordan reiterated the request and gave Zients until June 29 to comply, warning that the committee may resort to compulsory process if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan stated that there is already extensive evidence pointing to the White House&#8217;s involvement in urging and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/covid-reset-the-day-of-reckoning-is-coming\/\" title=\"COVID Reset: The Day of Reckoning Is Coming\">directing social media companies<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-white-house-threatened-with-subpoena-from-jim-jordan-for-censorship-records\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan threatens to subpoena Biden White House over 'censorship' records.\">impose viewpoint-based censorship<\/a>.

These communications primarily focused on combating mis- and disinformation and included requests to crack down on specific users.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Jordan sent subpoenas to several top Biden administration officials, including the directors of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), as well as an official at the State Department&#8217;s Global Engagement Center (GEC).
