The House Judiciary Committee chairman demanded that the Federal Trade Commission provide documents related to its investigation of the platform's acquisition.
In the subpoena sent to Khan, Jordan said the FTC's compliance with the Judiciary Committee was"woefully insufficient."
"Accordingly, the Committee is issuing a subpoena to compel the production of documents necessary to inform our oversight," the subpoena said.that the commission has offered to brief Jordan's staff multiple times on nonpublic information about its investigation into Twitter, but the Judiciary Committee hasn't accepted the FTC's offer.
"The FTC respects the important role of congressional oversight. We have made multiple offers to brief Chairman Jordan's staff on our investigation into Twitter," the spokesman, Douglas Farrar, said."Those are standing offers made prior to this entirely unnecessary subpoena." Twitter has been the target of conservatives since the 2020 presidential election, when the social media platform banned users or removed posts that contained disinformation, racism or tweets that violated Twitter's user agreement. Some conservatives were outraged when the social media platform removed posts.
Shortly after Musk took over the company, he released internal Twitter documents to a group of journalists, who published excerpts from them in tweets, which Musk labeled the"Twitter Files."
