The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government had its first hearing today:
The House’s new subcommittee dedicated to probing the so-called weaponization of the federal government is holding its first hearing Thursday.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who chairs the panel, kicked off the event just after 12:30 p.m. EST by asking Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to lead members in the pledge of allegiance.
Members are currently hearing testimony from the first panel of witnesses, which includes: Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, as well as former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who left the Democratic Party to become an independent and appears frequently on Fox News.
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan opened up the hearing by rattling off a long list of what FBI whistleblowers have reported, and the consequences they’ve faced for coming forward. Watch:
