Summary
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has issued a subpoena to Citibank, demanding information about whether the bank provided law enforcement with customer transaction information surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. This follows requests to other financial institutions to voluntarily submit data, with Citibank being the only bank that had not complied. The wider probe into whether banks turned over data to assist in the investigation and prosecution of the rioters was sparked by an FBI whistleblower who disclosed that Bank of America had voluntarily provided a list of people who made transactions in the Washington area during that time period. The committee now wants to know if other banks did the same.
