House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan on Monday issued a subpoena for one of the FBI's top human resource officials.
Jordan, R-Ohio, is demanding testimony from Jennifer Moore, FBI executive assistant director of human resources, following a transcribed interview with the official in which, Jordan claims, she refused to answer key questions.
"Today, Chairman Jordan issued a subpoena to Jennifer Leigh Moore, executive assistant director of human resources at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, after she refused to answer questions during her transcribed interview about the FBI’s retaliation against brave whistleblowers who have come forward to raise concerns about abuses they have seen at the Bureau," said Jordan spokesperson Russell Dye.
Moore's interview and expected testimony are part of the GOP's ongoing investigation of politicization within the FBI.
