Republicans have issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking him to testify on the federal government targeting concerned parents in school board meetings during the pandemic.
With the weight of a subpoena, the House Judiciary Committee ordered Wray to appear before the panel and turn over documents and communications related to the FBI’s ‘misuse of federal criminal and counterterrorism resources.’
Committee Chair Jim Jordan asked him to appear for testimony on March 1, according to Fox News.

During the pandemic, school board meetings became heated across the country during debates on culture issues and whether children should be back in the classroom.
The October 4, 2021 memo directed the FBI to investigate the ‘disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence’ against school administrators who parents clashed with at meetings.
Jordan and his committee colleagues have been investigating whistleblower allegations that the White House colluded with the National School Boards Association to create a pretext to use federal law enforcement against parents.
The whistleblowers claim the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division was tasked with investigating and tagging parents as ‘threats’.
