Jim Jordan is accusing the FBI of purging conservatives and whistleblowers who have come forward to expose political bias. Fox News Digital reported Thursday that Jordan wrote a letter to FBI executive assistant director of the Human Resources branch Jennifer Moore to highlight cases of alleged retaliation and demand she sit for an interview with House Judiciary Committee Republicans. 'During the course of this investigation, we have received protected whistleblower disclosures that the FBI is engaging in a "purge" of employees with conservative views by revoking their security clearances and indefinitely suspending these employees,' Jordan told Moore. Republican Rep. Jim Jordan is accusing the FBI of purging conservatives and whistleblowers who have come forward to expose political bias The Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are investigating political bias at the FBI She was subjected to his letter, Jordan explained, because 'many of the formal notices' had been signed by her. He told Moore he had information indicating she had 'retaliated against at least one whistleblower who has made protected disclosures to Congress.' Jordan told Fox that individual shared with Judiciary Committee Republicans that the Justice Department was labeling some parents who showed up to school board meetings a threat allowing the DOJ to 'prosecute them when appropriate.' 'As we informed Director Christopher Wray, we take whistleblower retaliation seriously and we therefore require that you appear for a transcribed interview as soon as possible,' Jordan warned. Republicans have pointed to a letter from the National School Boards Association to Attorney General Merrick Garland last fall that warned some of the threats school officials were receiving 'could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.' In turn, Garland directed the DOJ to look into threats, but didn't use the 'terrorism' language. Jordan had previously disclosed that he had heard from whistleblowers that the bureau was 'deliberately manipulating' how case files related to January 6 are maintained to fit the 'political narrative' that domestic extremism is on the rise in the U.S. The Ohio Republican referenced those revelations in his interview with Fox Thursday. 'We refer to that as juicing the numbers - its pressure that is existing at the FBI to satisfy this narrative from President Biden, where he called half the country fascist and extremists,' Jordan said, pointing to Biden's recent string of speeches where he's called out 'MAGA Republicans' especially for their role in January 6.
