House Republicans Monday subpoenaed a top FBI official to testify about accusations conservative employees have made that they faced illegal retaliation after complaining to lawmakers about senior bureau leaders.
The subpoena signed by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan summons Jennifer Leigh Moore, executive assistant director of the FBI’s Human Resource Branch, to appear for closed-door questioning under oath on May 10.
The subpoena does not specify the nature of the FBI employees’ complaints about the agency’s leadership.
Jordan and House Republicans previously have said they are investigating alleged instances of “abuse and misconduct” against employees expressing conservative views. Those allegedly included revocation of their security clearances and indefinite suspensions.
An FBI press representative didn’t immediately respond to a call and message about the subpoena.
In a statement Monday, committee spokesman Russell Dye said Jordan issued the subpoena after Moore refused to answer questions for the probe.
Jordan has claimed Moore signed many of the formal notices for these adverse personnel actions, and that the committee is looking into whether the FBI is engaging in a ‘purge’ of employees with conservative views.
