This action, led by Committee Chair Rep.Jim Jordan,\u2062 R-Ohio, seeks to address perceived transparency failures and politicization of the FBI under Biden and former Director Christopher Wray. Previous\u2064 subpoenas during the \u200b118th Congress reportedly went unanswered by the FBI, leading to frustration within the committee.<\/p>\n<p>The subpoenas are looking for records related to several notable cases of alleged FBI misconduct, including \u2062the targeting of parents protesting\u2064 school policies and the FBI&#8217;s controversial memo classifying customary\u2064 Catholics \u2062as potential threats.Further still, the \u2064committee is pursuing\u200d information on the \u200cFBI&#8217;s collaborations with technology firms to \u2063censor dissent, the agency&#8217;s handling of\u2063 the january 6 \u200dinsurrection, and allegations of censoring pro-life advocates under the FACE Act.<\/p>\n<p>The committee has set a deadline for\u200b compliance with the subpoenas by March\u200d 17. \u200dJordan&#8217;s\u2063 communications indicate dissatisfaction with the FBI&#8217;s previous responses, including their\u2062 limited \u2063disclosures regarding \u2062requested documents and communications, suggesting that more\u2063 information should exist within the agency.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The House Judiciary Committee issued a series of subpoenas to the FBI on Monday aimed at obtaining documents related to President Biden&rsquo;s weaponization of the agency against his political opponents.

Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote in a letter to new FBI Director Kash Patel.<\/p>\n<p>In the communique obtained by The Federalist, Jordan noted how the Judiciary Committee issued numerous subpoenas during the 118th Congress to the Wray-led FBI regarding information about the latter&rsquo;s politicized activities and operations. However, Wray, according to the Ohio Republican, &ldquo;failed to produce many of these materials&rdquo; before stepping down from his position as FBI director. <\/p>\n<p>The subpoenas issued on Monday and obtained by The Federalist seek records pertaining to some of the most notable Biden-era FBI scandals showcasing Democrats&rsquo; weaponization of the agency to target their political opponents.
