House Republicans and House Judiciary Issue Subpoenas to Citibank, DOJ, and FBI Over Jan. 6 and Big Tech Collusion Investigations

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has issued a subpoena to Citibank, demanding information about whether the bank shared customer transaction data with law enforcement following the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Citibank is the only bank that has not voluntarily complied with the committee's request, according to sources. The wider investigation into whether other banks provided data to assist in the investigation and prosecution of the rioters was sparked by an FBI whistleblower who revealed that Bank of America had voluntarily shared a list of individuals who made transactions in the Washington area during the specified period. The committee is now seeking to determine if other banks engaged in similar actions.
