Appearing on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures, Jordan told host, Maria Bartiromo, “In the end, money always gets people’s attention … and so what we’re going to have to do is say, ‘Hey, FBI, you can’t use federal tax dollars, you can’t use the American tax dollars for this kind of activity.’ We’ve got to limit how they spend the money, maybe even limit them,” he said.

The committee has undertaken a number of actions this month.

It released a report on the origins of the statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials falsely claiming the New York Post‘s Hunter Biden’s laptop story was Russian disinformation, finding that it was created after then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken reached out to former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, who drafted the statement along with former CIA official Marc Polymeropoulos.

It also called in former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to testify about their involvement in the statement. Brennan testified on May 11, before Durham’s report came out, but Clapper testified on May 17, after the release of Durham’s report on May 15.

Durham’s report found that both Brennan and Clapper were aware as early as July 2016 of intelligence that Hillary Clinton planned to “vilify” Donald Trump by linking him to Russia.
