Jordan accused the FBI of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/loudon-county-ends-school-meeting-after-pushback-from-parents-parents-sing-star-bangled-banner-cops-make-arrests\/\" title=\"Loudon County Ends School Meeting After Pushback From Parents, Parents Sing Star Bangled Banner, Cops Make Arrests\">suppressing free speech<\/a> on social media and lying about Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan emphasized a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-announce-sweeping-gun-control-restrictions\/\" title=\"Biden to Announce Sweeping Gun-Control Restrictions\">recent court ruling<\/a> that issued a preliminary injunction, preventing officials in President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration from engaging with social media companies.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The government has used its power to silence the opposition,&#8221; Jordan declared. &#8220;Opposition to the COVID-19 vaccines, statements affirming the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop, and criticism of government officials&#8217; policies have all been suppressed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition, Chairman Jordan criticized the FBI&#8217;s targeting of parents and anti-abortion Catholics.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Parents have been labeled as terrorists, and Catholics have been called radicals. And let&#8217;s not forget about the spying that occurred during the presidential campaign,&#8221; Jordan asserted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Ranking Member Blames Republicans for Partisan Hearing<\/h3>\n<p>Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pushed back against Jordan&#8217;s comments, accusing Republicans of turning the hearing into political theater. Nadler claimed that if Republicans were not in charge, the hearing would have been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wray-hearing-jordan-presses-fbi-director-on-censorship\/\" title=\"Jordan questions FBI director on censorship during Wray hearing.\">bipartisan fact-finding session<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Last year, Director Wray faced multiple credible death threats. FBI employees received more threats in the months following the Mar-a-Lago search than in the entire previous year. It&#8217;s high time Republicans understand the consequences of their actions,&#8221; Nadler argued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>FBI Director Focuses on Agency&#8217;s Accomplishments<\/h3>\n<p>In his opening statement, FBI Director Wray chose not to directly address the accusations made by House Republicans. Instead, he highlighted the positive impact the FBI has had.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s FBI leaders exemplify the best of this organization,&#8221; Wray praised. &#8220;We have 38,000 dedicated men and women who are true patriots, professionals, and public servants. That is the real FBI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To read more about this story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) accused the FBI of stifling free speech on social media and dishonesty regarding Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop during an oversight hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray.
