"The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Citibank for details about whether it provided the Federal Bureau of Investigation customer transaction data, CNBC reported.
Rep. Jim Jordan of R-Ohio, the panel's chairman, issued the decree Thursday demanding potential correspondence between the bank and FBI officials days after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
The committee's interest in banks, including Citibank, follows an FBI whistleblowers claim that Bank of America voluntarily gave law enforcement a list of transactions in the Washington, D.C., area during the riots.
Jordan previously requested that those two banks, alongside JPMorgan, PNC Financial Services, Truist Financial, U.S. Bancorp, and Wells Fargo, voluntarily hand over any potential communications with the FBI.
'We find this testimony alarming,' Jordan and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., head of a subcommittee focused on the allegations, wrote in their June letter to JPMorgan.
'According to veteran FBI employees, without any legal process, a major financial institution provided the private financial information of Americans to the most powerful law enforcement entity in the country,' they added."
