The first three witnesses to testify privately before Rep. Jim Jordan's, R-Ohio, new committee investigating the "weaponization" of government pushed right-wing conspiracy theories and received financial support from a top Trump ally, according to a report from Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.
Jordan formed the committee after Republicans took over the House with the aim of exposing bias against conservatives by the federal government. Jordan last month claimed that there were "dozens and dozens of whistleblowers, FBI agents, coming to us talking about what is going on, the political nature of the Justice Department." But the panel has only transcribed interviews with three purported whistleblowers who appear to not meet the definition of a whistleblower and engaged in partisan conduct that undermines their credibility, according to the 316-page Democratic report.
