The federal government created 'profiles' on the American people kept in a 'secret portal' shared with companies to identify customer's levels of extremism, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan revealed.
An interface shared between over 650 companies and federal officials holds a 'secret portal' containing sensitive data on American citizens, Jordan warned during a House Weaponization Committee hearing Thursday.
Republicans are investigating how big government 'colluded' with big banks and companies to surveil Americans' private financial data.
Their probe centers on how the Biden administration worked with financial institutions to flag 'indicators' of 'extremism' among consumers in the wake of January 6.
Republicans put out a comprehensive report Wednesday running through the 'starling evidence,' including that banks collected information on everyday Americans by using 'hate symbols' collected by liberal groups.
Some of the 'indicators' included the general search terms: ‘MAGA,’ ‘gun,’ 'kill,' 'shoot,' 'Capitol,' 'Kamala' and ‘Biden,' the Treasury Department previously confirmed.
But the financial surveillance 'was broader and there was actually a specific objective,' Jordan, R-Ohio, stated in his opening remarks at the hearing Thursday.
'The federal government is building profiles on the American people. And the profile is not based criminal conduct, it's based on political belief.'
