House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan announced on Monday that his panel has issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray seeking information on one of the bureau’s field offices’ efforts to investigate “extremists” in Catholic parishes in the US.
Jordan’s investigation centers on a now-withdrawn Jan. 23 memo from the FBI’s Richmond, Va., Field Office titled, “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities.”
The missive, which Jordan (R-Ohio) described as “chilling” in a tweet on Monday, discussed meeting with church leaders to review “the warning signs of radicalization and to enlist their assistance to serve as suspicious activity tripwires.”
“The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of the [FBI’s] handling of domestic violent extremism investigations against Catholic Americans and its effect on protected First Amendment activity,” Jordan wrote in a letter to Wray on Monday.
