House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim
Jordan is asking major banks to release
documents about financial records they
may have released to former special
counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice
Department. This comes after Jordan
found out that a wireless company had
turned over his personal phone records.
NTD's Arlene Richards has more.
>> Republican Congressman Jim Jordan wants
answers from several financial
institutions. On Friday, Jordan sent
letters to more than a dozen banks
demanding communications and requests
for customer financial data related to
former special counsel Jack Smith's
investigations. Smith was appointed by
then President Biden to investigate
President Trump for alleged efforts to
challenge the results of the 2020
election, including the events of
January 6th, 2021, and for allegedly
withholding classified documents. The
request for release financial records
comes after recent disclosures indicate
that Smith's team secretly sought phone
records from several GOP senators.
Jordan has now learned that his own
personal phone data was also released.
In a press release on Thursday, the
House Judiciary Committee reported that
a request for communications and
documents between Verizon Wireless and
the Biden Justice Department revealed
that Jordan's records were involved.
>> Well, it's interesting. It's like it's
part of this Arctic frost investigation,
but they went all the way back to
January of 2020. I mean, that was a year
before January 6. That was a year before
the election for goodness sake. But this
was for 2 and a half years. Every call
you make, who you call, who calls you,
how long the call lasts, where you're at
when you make the call, for two and a
half years.
>> Jordan says he wants to know who
authorized it.
>> And I want to know if Garland signed off
on this. I want to know if Chris Ray
signed off on this. Lisa Monaco, how did
this happen?
>> The committee chairman has already been
looking into Smith's Trump
investigations. Now he's probing whether
the Biden Justice Department and Smith
used financial subpoenas to conduct
surveillance on Trump associates, GOP
lawmakers, and even Jordan himself.
