Jim Jordan

As President Donald Trump faces stiff challenges from federal judges across the country, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is laying out a sweeping agenda for judicial reform to rein in judges that he says are being overtly political.

The FBI has handed over to Congress key documents related to Biden-era “weaponization” scandals at the Justice Department following a subpoena from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Monday announced who would be leading the subcommittees for the 119th Congress.

Jordan will remain the committee's chairman in the next Congress, while Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin will serve as the ranking member of the coveted committee. Raskin previously worked as the ranking member of House Oversight.

The House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government uncovered censorship, FBI whistleblower retaliation, and politicization of the nation’s top law enforcement and intelligence agencies over its nearly two-year probe into federal agencies. 

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said Tuesday that the federal government has been weaponized to spy on Americans' bank accounts and financial transactions. 

"We know in 2023 [that] 14,000 different individuals in the government [about] three million times in one year......14,000 individuals did over three million searches of this database of information on Americans banking habits," Jordan said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. 

Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, while Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a new House report is revealing.

U.S. Border Patrol encountered over 250 migrants who were on the terrorist watchlist over a two-year stretch, with at least 99 of them released into the country, according to a Congressional report released Monday.

The claims have been made by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee in a new report, which blames the Biden administration for allowing suspected terrorists from three dozen countries into the U.S.

The Biden administration has caught and released at least 99 illegal immigrants whose identities matched the terrorism watch list, according to a congressional report Monday.

They were caught by the Border Patrol along the southern border from 2021 through 2023 and were subsequently released as part of the Biden administration’s more relaxed approach to immigration, the House Judiciary Committee said.

Another 34 illegal immigrants flagged by the watchlist were still being held as of June.

The Stanford Internet Observatory, a group that studies so-called online misinformation and was the subject of congressional investigations into government censorship of Americans, is effectively closing down, according to media reports.

A U.S. congressional committee will accuse the biggest Wall Street firms on Tuesday, in a report seen by Reuters ahead of its publication, of colluding with advocacy groups to force companies to shrink their greenhouse gas emissions.

The report is the first of its kind produced by the Republican-led Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives since it launched an investigation in late 2022 into whether corporate efforts to tackle climate change violate antitrust laws.
