House Republicans are now signaling a top-to-bottom investigation of the FBI when the party takes over the lower congressional chamber in January.
Incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) suggested that the bureau needs to be investigated in the same manner as the Church Committee, which investigated abuses by the CIA, FBI, Internal Revenue Service, and National Security Agency. The committee, led by then-Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho), revealed the now-infamous CIA MKULTRA program and COINTELPRO, which were commissioned by the FBI.
