Top Republican Subpoenas FBI Official Over Refusal to Answer Questions

Hold onto your hats, folks! U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is not backing down in his quest for answers. He recently subpoenaed a top FBI official, Jennifer Leigh Moore, after she refused to answer questions during her transcribed interview about the FBI’s retaliation against whistleblowers.

Moore, the FBI’s executive assistant director of human resources, has been accused of retaliating against brave whistleblowers who have come forward to raise concerns about abuses they have seen at the bureau. Jordan contacted Moore in 2022 as he investigated allegations of misconduct within the bureau, including allegations that the FBI was working to purge employees with conservative views.

Despite repeated requests for a transcribed interview and the preservation of materials relating to the allegations, Moore refused to cooperate. Jordan warned her in a January missive that a subpoena was an option if she wouldn’t stop her “obstruction.”

While Moore ultimately sat for an interview without a subpoena, she still didn’t answer all of the questions. The interview took place on April 24, but it’s unclear whether Moore answered any questions.
