House Republicans are mounting an investigation into whistleblower findings revealing that Bank of America (BOA) had “voluntarily” handed over Jan. 6 bank records to the FBI “without any legal process.”

In a 78-page whistleblower report released by the House Judiciary Committee on May 19, it was alleged that in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, breach on the U.S. Capitol, Bank of America gave the FBI information about customers who made transactions in the Washington, D.C., area on or near Jan. 6.
