Republican Congressman from Ohio, Jim Jordan, who chairs the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, has raised concerns about the potential use of certain terms by banks to search Americans' financial data and report back to the government.
According to Jordan, the FBI has been requesting banks to provide customer names and details of individuals using credit or debit cards at specific times and locations. The FBI has specifically asked for information on any purchases related to firearms or weapons, creating a controversial scenario where financial institutions are being asked to monitor such transactions.
