Jim Jordan announces investigation into DOJ for alleged spying on congressional staffers

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced that the Judiciary Committee launched an investigation into the Department of Justice‘s alleged spying on congressional staff and members of Congress.

The investigation comes after reports emerged that Jason Foster, Sen. Chuck Grassley‘s (R-IA) former chief investigative counsel, had allegedly been spied on by the DOJ. Jordan announced the investigation on Fox News Business on Tuesday.

“We now know that they spied on congressional staffers,” Jordan said on Fox Business. “We want to know, how far does it go? Were they spying on members? Were they spying on other staffers? Never forget, Liz: We know they spied on President Trump’s campaign. We know all that from the FISA Court and what they did with Carter Page and Papadopoulos — everything else. Now we’ve learned that they spied on one of Sen. Grassley’s staff members, Jason Foster.”

“We want to know, does it go further?” he stressed. “So we’ve sent letters not only to the Department of Justice but to all these carriers that the Department of Justice worked with to get the phone records, the email records from congressional staffers like Mr. Foster. How far does this go? Were they spying on members, other staff?”

Jordan has made it a priority to investigate alleged weaponization of the DOJ under the Biden administration during his time as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
