House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed officials from three federal agencies for documents and information related to the committee's investigation into how the government coordinated with private companies and other third-party...
Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the State Department’s Global Engagement Center were subpoenaed by Mr. Jordan’s committee.
Mr. Jordan notified each official that “numerous documents” that have become public reflected the “federal government’s power to censor speech online directly and by proxy” and that it is necessary to determine the extent to which each agency “coerced, pressured, worked with, or relied upon social media and other tech companies in order to censor speech.”
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said DHS “does not censor speech and does not request that content be taken down by social media companies.” The investigation was launched after tech billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter and released a slew of documents from the former Twitter management through independent journalists on the platform.
