The following press release was published by the House Committee On The Judiciary on April 28. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC) for documents and communications related to the Committee's investigation into how the federal government coerced and colluded with private companies and other third-party groups to censor speech.

The Twitter Files and other public reporting have exposed how the federal government has pressured and colluded with Big Tech and other intermediaries to censor certain viewpoints in ways that undermine First Amendment principles. On March 22, 2023, the Committee wrote to these agencies seeking voluntary cooperation with our oversight, and to date, the agencies have failed to produce any documents responsive to the Committee's requests.
