Today on Capitol Hill, the House is set to listen to testimony regarding the federal government's involvement in the banking system. Lawmakers are focusing on protecting Americans from being targeted as potential threats based on their political affiliations, religious beliefs, or shopping habits.
The Financial Crimes Department at the Treasury has acknowledged requesting banks to monitor Americans' transactions in connection to the events of January 6th. This monitoring included tracking political terms such as Trump, MAGA, Biden, or Kamala, as well as scrutinizing purchases from retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods, Cabela's, or Bass Pro, and even transactions involving religious books.
