Jim Jordan to Scale Up Judiciary, Weaponization of the Federal Government Investigations

Jordan asked for $2 million more annually and a $15 million reserve fund that could be used anytime.

The Judiciary Committee chairman said during a House administration hearing Tuesday:

We’ve seen the First Amendment under attack from big tech and big government, just read the Twitter Files. We’ve seen how the Justice Department, the FBI, have used their law enforcement authorities, we’ve seen how the open border policies of this administration have led to crime, drained local resources, and helped drugs flow into our country. These are important, serious issues, these are things the Judiciary Committee must examine. We expect to have an aggressive legislative and oversight agenda this Congress. In addition, the House has created a new select committee within the Judiciary Committee on the weaponization of government.

Jordan said that he asked for only access to a $15 million reserve fund so that they could be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. The request will either be approved or denied during the House Administration Committee’s markup next week.

The Ohio conservative’s request is a significant ramp-up in the committee’s investigations, which may rival the Democrats’ January 6 select committee.
