In an attempt to learn more about Bank of America’s handling of customer data during the January 6th Capitol incident, Republican Congressman Jim Jordan has requested a subpoena to the financial institution. The House Judiciary Committee is looking at the involvement of financial institutions in great detail.
Jordan accused the bank in a letter to CEO Brian Moynihan of hiding information that the organization had supplied with the FBI following the violence.

“On May 25, 2023, we requested your voluntary cooperation with our oversight efforts to determine the extent to which financial institutions, such as Bank of America Corporation (BoA), worked with the FBI to collect Americans’ data. In response, the Committee has received 223 pages of documents responsive to our original requests. However, to date, BoA has refused to provide the Committee and Select Subcommittee with the filing it turned over to the FBI,” The Washington Examiner reported that the letter stated.
Jordan expressed his worry over the details the bank sent the FBI “voluntarily and without any legal process,” moreover, if the bank had “lawful authority” Congress should act in order to do so “consider reforms that adequately protect Americans’ information.”
“Indeed, if such a lawful authority exists, as BoA asserts, for BoA to freely share private financial information without any legal process or specific nexus to criminality, Congress has a responsibility to consider reforms that adequately protect Americans’ information,” the letter said. “It should not be the case that federal law enforcement has carte blanche access to Americans’ financial information by deeming a transaction or class of transactions as ‘suspicious’ or otherwise.”
It added: “For that reason, to inform such legislation, it is critical that the Committee understand the full extent of the information-sharing between BoA and the FBI, including review of BoA’s ‘filing’ that it emailed to the FBI.”
The Examiner added the following:
Jordan is the chair of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is looking into Bank of America. This investigation and others center on how the government handled the Capitol riot. The bank was initially given until June 8th to turn in the needed paperwork, but the inquiry started in May.
Jordan has confirmed using confidential human sources (CHS) to infiltrate crowds before to the violence in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
According to a memo obtained by Just the News, the FBI may have had trouble adequately monitoring the CHSs’ operations since they were under the jurisdiction of field offices located outside of Washington, D.C.

After hearing testimony indicating that the FBI had prior knowledge of the presence of some sensitive human sources during the January 6 events, Jordan intensifies his demand for papers from Wray.
“During this interview, D’Antuono testified that the WFO learned after the events of January 6 that there had been confidential sources from other field offices in attendance, as well as informants who participated on their own accord. According to D’Antuono, the FBI was aware in advance of January 6 that some CHSs would be in attendance that day,” stated in the letter to Wray.
“D’Antuono explained that due to the large number of CHSs present at the Capitol, the WFO asked FBI Headquarters ‘to do a poll or put out something to people saying w[ere] any CHSs involved’ so the FBI could try to ascertain how many CHSs had been in attendance,” Jordan wrote.
WHY not require the weaponized FBI to turn over the info?
WOW! Spellcheck doesn’t like my use of the term weaponized FBI !!!
