Jim Jordan's Controversial Stance on Whistleblowers and FBI Credibility

A House hearing on the weaponization of the federal government descended into chaos as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) shouted down members who questioned violations of committee rules. Jordan claimed to have testimony from "dozens" of whistleblowers who provided him with proof that the FBI is unfairly persecuting conservatives, but the first three witnesses were not whistleblowers, but disaffected former FBI employees receiving financial backing from former President Trump's ally and advisor Kash Patel. Democrats were largely flying blind when it comes to their questioning of witnesses, as Jordan refused to grant them access to testimony in what Democrats contend is a violation of House rules.
