House
Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed Citibank for documents related to
an investigation into major banks sharing private financial data with the
FBI in the aftermath of the January 6 events at the Capitol.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton: "If you were visiting DC and you were
a client of any of these banks, if you had a credit card or were using a
debit card, they could have been looking at your financial records.'
Judicial Watch filed an appeal challenging a U.S. District Court decision
allowing the FBI to withhold records of communication between the FBI and
several financial institutions about the reported transfer of financial
transaction records of people in DC, Maryland and Virginia on January 5 and
January 6, 2021
Chris
Farrell, Judicial Watch Director of Investigations and Rsearch: "A dragnet
sweep of data to find anybody to go after. it's a wholesale, warrentless
search of banking records."
