Staff Reports
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has escalated the pressure on Bank of America by issuing a subpoena, demanding information about their alleged cooperation with the FBI following the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The key question in everyone's mind revolves around whether the bank played a role in sharing private financial data of Americans with law enforcement.
In a strongly-worded letter addressed to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, Jordan criticized the bank for not voluntarily providing the requested information. Jordan expressed his frustration, questioning why the bank was evading cooperation. He demanded transparency, asking, "What are you hiding?"

Jordan is particularly concerned about Bank of America sharing information with the FBI "voluntarily and without any legal process." He raises a valid point, emphasizing the potential risks if banks can freely disclose private financial information to law enforcement without proper legal procedures. Such a practice could pose a threat to individuals' privacy.
The investigation into Bank of America's involvement is under the purview of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which Jordan chairs. The committee remains steadfast in its pursuit of the truth and is determined to uncover any questionable actions.
Jordan's assertive approach toward Bank of America indicates that he is not willing to let the matter slide. He is taking proactive measures to ensure that the bank provides the necessary details regarding its interactions with law enforcement. The investigation is gaining momentum, and Jordan, along with the committee, appears committed to unraveling the complexities of this situation. As this confrontation between Jordan and Bank of America unfolds, observers can anticipate further developments in the ongoing investigation.
