Jim Jordan launches 'misinformation' investigation to uncover Biden 'censorship' scheme
EXCLUSIVE — House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is unveiling an investigation into a purported "misinformation" tracking group he says engaged in "censorship" of disfavored speech on social media alongside the Biden administration.
Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British nonprofit group with an affiliated U.S. charity, was accused in a Monday lawsuit by X Corp., formerly Twitter, of making "false" claims after alleging hate speech spiked on the platform since Elon Musk's October takeover. Now, Jordan is demanding the center hand over records by Aug. 17 that could detail the extent of its White House-linked efforts targeting the First Amendment, according to a letter the chairman sent to the center on Thursday.
"We know from the Facebook Files that the Center for Countering Digital Hate was working with the White House to censor speech," a senior GOP congressional aide with knowledge of the inquiry said. "But how far did it go? Republicans want to find out, and of course subpoenas are on the table if we don’t get answers."
Jordan's letter, which was first obtained by the Washington Examiner, is the latest escalation of the GOP's efforts to investigate how the federal government has, in some cases, coordinated with the private sector to flag certain speech, including speech related to COVID-19, as "disinformation" or "misinformation." The chairman has recently been publicizing subpoenaed documents from Facebook, now called Meta, showing how the platform kept in close contact with the Biden administration on content moderation.
Further sets of emails produced in connection to that subpoena, which have not been reported on until now and were shared with the Washington Examiner, shed light on Center for Countering Digital Hate's influence among top Facebook staffers and the highest levels of government. …
