Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Rep.

Jordan, on Monday, sent a letter to Yellen and Werfel demanding answers in regard to the timing and circumstances surrounding the raid on Taibbi’s home on March 9 — “the same day Mr. Taibbi testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about what he learned about Twitter,” The Wall Street Journal reported.
