On Wednesday, Representative Jim Jordan sent a letter to the FBI requesting that they provide all documents and communications to the House Judiciary Committee regarding the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide on Militia Violent Extremists.
The letter from Jordan to FBI Director Christopher Wray came over a month after Project Veritas released the guide to the public, which they had obtained from a whistleblower.
Jordan’s letter starts by noting a previous letter sent on July 27, 2022 "about whistleblower disclosures that FBI officials were pressuring agents to reclassify cases as 'domestic violent extremism' (DVEs) even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification."
Jordan noted that they did not receive a response, and that "since our letter, new publicly available information and additional protected whistleblower disclosures suggest the FBI’s actions are far more pervasive than previously known."
Noting Project Veritas’ obtaining of the guide, Jordan noted that symbols and ideas like the Second Amendment, or 2A, "commonly referenced historical imagery or quotes" like the Betsy Ross flag or the Gadsden flag were labeled as symbols of "Militia Violent Extremists" (MVEs).
