  • Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed the FBI over its alleged targeting of traditional Catholics in a letter sent Tuesday.
  • The FBI Richmond Field Office put forward a document dated Jan. 23, 2023 which advised agents to infiltrate groups of traditional Catholics who attend the Latin Mass and reject the Second Vatican Council. The document cited left-wing groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center in arguing that the groups are “facilitation platforms to promote violence.”
  • The FBI field office later told the Daily Caller it was retracting the memo, saying it “does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI.”
