Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) testified Justice Department and FBI oversight at the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government’s first hearing. The senators claimed Democrats and the FBI discredited their joint investigation into the Biden family. Rep. Raskin said the committee itself is a form of governmental weaponization. Ms. Gabbard said citizens should decide for themselves what constitutes misinformation, citing U.S. government overreach on the matter. Legal professionals and two former FBI special agents testified in a second panel. Republicans asked about the FBI’s communications with Twitter on alleged election misinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop story. Democrats said Republicans are using the subcommittee for political reasons and that heated rhetoric against the FBI was causing an increase of threats and violence against the agency’s employees.
