Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chair of the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, announced on X a report on censorship of speech that took place before the 2020 election. The federal agencies that conducted the censorship operation included the DHS, CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), and the Global Engagement Center of the U.S. Department of State, as well as individuals, including former Facebook chief security officer and current Stanford University Professor Alex Stamos.
The EIP (Election Integrity Partnership) was created 100 days before the 2020 presidential election, and, according to the report, was created “at the request of CISA” to work with CISA on monitoring. The report claims that EIP would analyze reports on “misinformation” from “stakeholders” and then submit recommendations, often including how to censor the reported speech.
Jordan alleges that the targeted individuals included President Donald Trump, Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), as well as many news sources, including Newsmax, political commentator Michelle Malkin, and The Federalist CEO Sean Davis. Jordan states that the targeted speech included “true information,” “jokes,” and “political opinions.”
