House Republicans are getting set to establish a new Judiciary subcommittee to look into how the Executive Branch has investigated and collected information on American citizens.
The subcommittee, if formed, will be known officially as the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. According to the House resolution that will be up for a vote, it will be composed of up to 13 members. The New York Times reported that it will be led by none other than Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who will also chair the full Judiciary Committee.
Fox News Digital reached out to Jordan’s office, but they did not immediately respond.
The subcommittee would look into not just how the Executive Branch gathered information on citizens, but how they worked with other bodies including private sector companies "to facilitate action against American citizens[.]"
