House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Monday expanded his investigation into Big Tech censorship and collusion with the Biden-Harris administration, demanding that YouTube reveal why it blocked a Catholic group’s interview last month with prominent FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen.
Jordan sent a stinging letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, whose company owns YouTube, asking for all contacts between the tech giant and the federal government concerning Allen.
“YouTube appears to have censored a video in which FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen, a witness before the Select Subcommittee, detailed serious misconduct at the FBI and expressed his deeply held religious beliefs,” Jordan wrote Pichai in a letter obtained by Just the News.
“This censorship of religious and political speech is deeply troubling in light of YouTube’s previous collusion with the Biden-Harris Administration and Alphabet’s pattern of anti-conservative political bias,” he also said.
The powerful committee chairman, who has been investigating federally-backed censorship during the 2020 election and COVID pandemic and since, asked YouTube to explain why it blocked the video and to divulge “communications between YouTube and the Biden-Harris Administration relating to this censorship.”
Allen, a Marine, has been a high-profile whistleblower who has testified before Congress and has successfully forced the FBI to restore his security clearance. Jordan and Allen’s lawyers alleged the suspension of his clearance was retaliation for raising concerns about bureau misconduct.
Allen gave an interview and prayed the rosary with the nonprofit group Catholics for Catholics on Sept. 29, and the video was posted to YouTube, Jordan disclosed.
“During the interview, Mr. Allen shared how the FBI targeted him for his political and religious beliefs, how the FBI’s retaliation affected him and his family, and how he relied on his faith during the ordeal,”the letter added. “Almost immediately, YouTube censored his story and religious expression.”
