FIRST ON FOX: House Selection Subcommittee on Arming the federal government released a more than 17,000-page report detailing her work in this Congress, touting her success in protecting Americans from censoring speech and arming federal law enforcement agencies, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital obtained the 17,019-page report compiled by a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
“The Appropriations Committee conducted rigorous oversight of the Biden-Harris administration’s arming of the government and found numerous examples of federal government abuse,” Jordan told Fox News Digital. “Through our oversight, we have protected the First Amendment by investigating the censorship-industrial complex, heard from numerous courageous whistleblowers, stopped the targeting of Americans by the IRS and the Justice Department, and created serious legislative and policy changes that will benefit all Americans.”

The report, first obtained by Fox News Digital, states that “the founding documents of the United States articulate the ideals of the American republic and guarantee all American citizens fundamental rights and liberties.
“However, for too long the American people have faced a two-tiered system of government – one of favorable treatment for a politically inclined class and one of intimidation and injustice for the rest of American citizens,” it continued. “Under the Biden-Harris administration, the contrast between these two levels has become even more pronounced.”
The committee was established to “stand up for the American people,” the report said, noting its work to “bring to light the abuses of the federal government to the American people and ensure that Congress, as their elected representatives, can take action to correct them.”
The subcommittee’s mission was to “protect and strengthen the fundamental rights of the American people,” the report said, noting that by investigating, uncovering and documenting executive branch misconduct, members of the panel took “important steps to ensure that the federal government no longer works against the American people.” .”
“This work is not done, but it is a necessary first step to stop the arming of the federal government,” the report said.
Since its inception, the committee has said it has worked to protect free speech and expand the constitutional protections of the First Amendment.
“During the Biden-Harris administration, multiple federal agencies, including the White House, engaged in an extensive censorship campaign against so-called false, false, or malicious information,” the report said, noting that the subcommittee revealed the extent of the “censorship-industrial complex” and detailed described how the federal government and law enforcement coordinated with academics, nonprofits, and other private entities to censor speech on the Internet.”

The committee praises its work, saying its oversight “has had a real effect in expanding the First Amendment.”
“In a Supreme Court dissent, three justices noted that the Select Subcommittee’s investigation found that ‘valuable speech was . . . suppressed,'” the report said.
And in a letter to the subcommittee, Facebook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that the Biden-Harris administration “pressured” Facebook to censor Americans.
“Facebook buckled under this pressure, demoting posts and content that were highly relevant to political discourse in the United States,” the report said.
And in another victory for the subcommittee, in response to its work, universities and other groups shut down their “disinformation” research and federal agencies “slowed down their communications with Big Tech.”
The committee also celebrated a “major victory” in October after it prevented the creation of a new “GARM,” an advertising association that engaged in censorship and boycotts of conservative media companies. The committee revealed, before it was disbanded, that GARM discussed ways to ensure that conservative news outlets and platforms could not receive advertising dollars and were involved in boycotting conservative voices and Twitter after it became “X” owned Elon Musk.
Meanwhile, the subcommittee also investigated the alleged weaponization of federal law enforcement resources.
By speaking with a number of whistleblowers, the subcommittee learned of waste, fraud and abuse at the FBI.
“When these whistleblowers came forward, the office retaliated brutally against many of them for breaking ranks—suspending them without pay, preventing them from seeking outside employment, and even purging suspected disloyal employees,” the report said, noting that the subcommittee found that the FBI “abused its security clearance process to target whistleblowers.”
The report cited the FBI’s response, in which the bureau acknowledged its “mistake” and reinstated the security clearance of one decorated FBI employee.

The subcommittee was also tasked with investigating actions by the executive branch to “intrude and interfere with the constitutionally protected activity of Americans.”
For example, the subcommittee discovered “and stopped” the FBI’s efforts to target Catholic Americans because of their religious views; detailed the DOJ guidelines for directing parents to school board meetings; prevented the IRS from making “unannounced visits to the homes of American taxpayers;” it forced the DOJ to change its internal policies to “respect the separation of powers and limit subpoenas for legislative branch employees; and highlighted the “massive warrantless surveillance of Americans by federal law enforcement.”
The panel also explored the federal government’s interference in the election, highlighting the FBI’s “zealous efforts to ‘cover up’ the story of the Biden family influence-peddling scheme ahead of the 2020 presidential election.”

The panel also investigated and showed how the 2020 Biden campaign “colluded with the intelligence community to falsely discredit this story as ‘Russian disinformation’.”
The report includes a list of hearings held by the subcommittee, letters sent by the subcommittee, and subpoenas issued by the panel.
Also includes depositions and transcribed interviews conducted by the subcommittee. The subcommittee made 99 statements and transcribed interviews during this Congress.
The statements and interviews included in the massive report include former FBI and CIA officials, such as former Director John Brennan, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office involved in the original money laundering investigation against President Trump, Mark Pomerantz and interviews with Facebook, Meta and Google Officials.
