"Controversy Erupts Over Treasury Department's Surveillance of Americans' Financial Transactions"

The Biden Administration has admitted to surveilling Americans' private financial transactions for words like 'MAGA', 'Trump', and 'Kamala' following the January 6 riots, instructing banks to search for 'extremists' and specifically targeting Trump supporters, outdoor store shoppers, and those purchasing religious texts. This revelation has sparked outrage and demands for answers from Republicans, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pledging to investigate the matter. The surveillance, conducted through the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), has raised concerns about privacy violations and improper targeting of U.S. citizens exercising their constitutional rights.
