23. White House Snaps Back at Jim Jordan's First Round of Subpoenas

Fri Feb 3, 2023, 11:39 PM

Feb 2023

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issued a wave of subpoenas on Friday attacking federal law enforcement's strategy in handling threats at school board meetings.

Friday's allegations from Jordan are aimed at a memo from Garland issued in October 2021, which directed the FBI to partner with local law enforcement in identifying potential threats to local school board meetings.

The White House later responded to the pile of subpoenas, saying that Jordan was "rushing to fire off subpoenas only two days after the Judiciary Committee organized."

"These subpoenas make crystal clear that extreme House Republicans have no interest in working together with the Biden Administration on behalf of the American people—and every interest in staging political stunts," read the statement from spokesperson for Congressional Oversight Ian Sams, which was posted to Twitter by Spectrum News correspondent Taylor Popielarz.
