A growing number of FBI whistleblowers are coming forward to Republican investigators in Congress, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) disclosed on Monday.
The congressman, who is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said in an interview there are now “over” 14 agents who have raised concerns with GOP lawyers on the panel over matters including the controversy surrounding a school boards memo, Jan. 6, and pressure to label cases “domestic violence extremism.”
“It overall shows the political nature, unfortunately, that we now have at the Justice Department,” Jordan said on Real America’s Voice.
Jordan made waves a little more than a week ago when he said the number of whistleblowers from the FBI was up to 14, above the six he mentioned a couple months prior. This uptick came after the FBI raid at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. On the Senate side, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has disclosed his team received whistleblower disclosures, including those related to the federal investigation into Hunter Biden.
All this is happening as Republicans raise expectations for a wave of investigations with subpoena power if they win one or both chambers of Congress in November.

For his part, Attorney General Merrick Garland has denied GOP claims of anti-conservative politicization at the DOJ, which is the parent agency of the FBI. Still, Jordan insists evidence to the contrary is piling up.
“I anticipate more coming forward,” the congressman said of whistleblowers. “I’ve never seen anything like this. It seems like every other week, we’re hearing from someone.”
