Panels in the Republican-led chamber are probing major banks over sharing Americans' private financial data with the FBI without legal process for transactions made in the Washington, D.C., area around Jan. 6, 2021, Jordan said in a statement on Thursday.
The House Judiciary panel said it wrote to Citibank in June requesting "voluntary cooperation to determine the extent to which banks illegally supplied the FBI with Americans' financial data."
Congress eventually certified the election results even as Trump continued repeating his false assertion that he won those elections.
