The House Judiciary Committee announced it is looking into Bank of America regarding allegations that the bank shared users' private financial information with the FBI.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust Chairman Thomas Massie (R-KY) sent a letter to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan. The letter demanded all communications between the bank, the FBI, and the Department of Justice concerning the data dump.

The move comes after the House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released a report based on whistleblower testimony, showing that Bank of America had shared the private financial information of users around Jan. 6, 2021, without due process.

"An FBI whistleblower has disclosed that shortly after the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Bank of America (BoA) provided the FBI — voluntarily and without any legal process — with a list of individuals who had made transactions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area with a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021," the letter said.

It added that further testimony revealed that people who had purchased firearms at any time in the past were sent to the top of the list.

"This information appears to have had no individualized nexus to particularized criminal conduct, but was rather a data dump of BoA customers’ transactions over a three-day period," the letter continued. "This information undoubtedly included private details about BoA customers who had nothing at all to do with the events of January 6. Even worse, BoA specifically provided information about Americans who exercised their Second Amendment right to purchase a firearm."

It added: "Congress has an important interest in ensuring that Americans’ private information is protected from collection by federal law enforcement agencies without proper due process. The Committee and Select Subcommittee must understand how and to what extent financial institutions, such as BoA, worked with the FBI to collect Americans’ data."

The letter gave a deadline of June 8 to provide all requested documentation to the committee.

The move is the latest by congressional Republicans to investigate alleged overreach by the federal government in general and specifically around the Jan. 6 riot.
