‘Preserve Your Records’: House Judiciary Sends Ominous Letter To Biden-Harris Officials

By Chris Powell

The House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), issued a series of letters on Thursday demanding the preservation of records and the production of documents from multiple federal agencies as part of its oversight efforts. The letters, sent to officials in the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), allege politicization of regulatory actions during the closing days of the Biden-Harris administration.

In each letter, Jordan accused the agencies of actions inconsistent with their statutory authority, issuing clear demands for transparency as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to assume office in January.

Addressing Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter, Jordan’s letter criticized the Antitrust Division’s alleged escalation of enforcement actions against American businesses following the 2024 presidential election.
