The House Judiciary Committee chairman sent a letter Thursday to attorney general Merrick Garland seeking details about the FBI's involvement in special counsel Jack Smith's sprawling investigations of the former president, including his mishandling of classified documents found at his private residence at Mar-a-Lago, reported The Federalist.
"Explain whether any FBI employees who have worked on Special Counsel Smith's investigation previously worked on any other matters concerning President Trump," Jordan wrote, "and explain whether Special Counsel Smith's investigation relies on any information or material gathered exclusively by the FBI prior the Special Counsel's appointment."
The Ohio Republican claimed congressional oversight authority to request a briefing by deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco on any changes made by the FBI to correct any failings cited by Trump-era special counsel John Durham, who recently submitted his final report following a years-long investigation.
"Public trust in the FBI is low," Jordan wrote. "Recent examples of political bias in FBI and Department of Justice operations show that the so-called 'corrective measures' the FBI instituted after Crossfire Hurricane have done nothing to address, let alone cure, the institutional rot that pervades the FBI.
"It is clear that Congress must consider legislative reforms to the FBI, and the Committee has been engaged in robust oversight to inform those legislative proposals. In the interim, however, due to the FBI's documented political bias, the Justice Department must ensure any ongoing investigations are not poisoned by this same politicization."

Yeah the FBI is biased in favor of Democrats - my big fat ass!
they're pressed for time to discredit anyone that's a threat to their unamerican hero, trump.
Jim Jordan is seriously delusional.
he's so desperate to find out what the DOJ has on him in the fake elector scheme...
they're all desperate and deplorable - the gqp that is
he knows he's on the short list of elected co-conspirators of J6 insurrectionists.
Isn't Jordan the RW that refused to appear before the committee investigating January 6th...Why yes the little twit is one and the same.
he blew off a subpoena from the J6 committee, but still expects the subpoenas he issues to be honored...
Of course he does, remember he headed up two investigations that were total flops, Benghazi and the IRS investigations he is trying for the trifecta now.
his criminal investigative skills were just as sharp in the locker room at ohio state...
And so, The New McCarthy Era begins...
It will be remembered as fondly as the last...
Really there are zero degrees of seperation between them!
Joe McCarthy's henchman Roy Cohn was Trump's mentor...
The public trust in Jordan is at about zero, nil, nada, none.
Nah, the boot lickers here believe him.
Some of them might. Some are just nihilists who don't believe in anything.
Jim Jordan misuses his authority. Gosh. A Republican who bends the rules for the benefit of the party... Gosh.
Whooda thunk it?
