House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Friday sent FBI Director Christopher Wray a letter requesting interviews with 16 bureau employees, whose testimony he said is “vital for carrying out our oversight.” The Ohio Republican, who is seeking to prove that the federal government has been “weaponized” against conservatives, said he wants the FBI to work with the committee to arrange their interviews by March 8. The names of the 16 FBI employees are redacted in the letter.
Separately, several other supposed whistleblowers who have not come in for interviews were suspended from the FBI for being at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to multiple sources familiar with the committee’s work. This is a point Jordan has not shied away from, using the accounts of “several whistleblowers” in a May 2022 letter to accuse the FBI of “retaliating against employees” for engaging in “protected First Amendment activity on January 6.
