   EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are investigating whether Bank of America   
   "voluntarily" turned over to the FBI a list of customers who made   
   transactions in the days on and around the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, and   
   those who purchased firearms with the bank’s credit and debit cards.   
      
   The House Judiciary Committee, its Subcommittee on the Weaponization of   
   the Federal Government, and the Subcommittee on the Administrative State,   
   Regulatory Reform and Antitrust are "conducting oversight" of the FBI’s   
   receipt of "information about American citizens from private entities."   
      
   Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who chairs the full committee and the   
   Weaponization subcommittee, and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who chairs the   
   other subcommittee, told Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan in a letter   
   obtained by Fox News Digital that they want more information on the bank's   
   cooperation with the FBI.   
      
   "We require your cooperation in investigating these facts," Jordan and   
   Massie wrote in their letter. They asked for all records related to the   
   provision of customer data by June 8.   
      
   BANK OF AMERICA CUSTOMERS FURIOUS AFTER DATA SHARED WITH FEDERAL   
   INVESTIGATORS   
      
   The investigation comes after an FBI whistleblower testified to the   
   committees that Bank of America, "with no directive from the FBI, data-   
   mined its customer base" by compiling customers who used a Bank of America   
   debit or credit card between Jan. 5 and Jan. 7, 2021.

   Jordan and Massie explained to Moynihan that the FBI whistleblower told   
   the committees that provided the FBI "voluntarily and without any legal   
   process" with a list of those customers.   
      
   The committee was also told, separately, that people who had previously   
   purchased a firearm with a Bank of America product were "elevated to the   
   top of the list regardless of when or where the purchase was made."   
      
   HERE ARE THE WHISTLEBLOWERS SCORCHING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ON HUNTER   
   PROBE, IRS, FBI   
      
   Jim Jordan   
   House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wants to know   
   whether Bank of America voluntarily gave the FBI a list of customers that   
   could be linked to the Jan. 6 riot.   
   Retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill was one FBI   
   whistleblower shared the information. He said Bank of America "compiled   
   that list. And then, on top of that list, they put anyone who had   
   purchased a firearm during any date."   
      
   Hill testified that the "huge list" that Bank of America created "targeted   
   transactions in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding area."   
      
   As for the customers who made firearm purchases with a Bank of America   
   product, Hill said there was "no geographic framework" and no date range.   
      
   Hill’s testimony was corroborated by the testimony of his former FBI   
   supervisor, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Boston Field Office Joseph   
   Bonavolonta. He testified that he learned of Bank of America’s move   
   through another special agent-in-charge of counterterrorism in Boston.   
      
   Rep. Thomas Massie in Washington, D.C.   
   Rep. Thomas Massie is pressing for answers on whether Bank of America   
   disclosed customers' gun transaction.   
      
   Bonavolonta said the Bank of America customer data was "sent to other FBI   
   field offices across the country, specifically the FBI Springfield,   
   Illinois Field office."   
      
   "This testimony is alarming," Jordan and Massie wrote. "According to   
   veteran FBI employees, [Bank of America] provided, without any legal   
   process, private financial information of Americans to the most powerful   
   law enforcement entity in the country."   
      
   "This information appears to have had no individualized nexus to   
   particularized criminal conduct, but was rather a data dump of [Bank of   
   America] customers’ transactions over a three-day period," they wrote.   
      
   "This information undoubtedly included private details about [Bank of   
   America] customers who had nothing at all to do with the events of January   
   6."   
      
   FBI EMPLOYEES HAD SECURITY CLEARANCES REVOKED AFTER SPEAKING OUT AGAINST   
   'POLITICIZED ROT': HOUSE REPORT   
      
   "Even worse, [Bank of America] specifically provided information about   
   Americans who exercised their Second Amendment right to purchase a   
   firearm," they said.   
      
   Jordan and Massie said the committees are seeking to understand "how and   
   to what extent financial institutions, such as Bank of America, worked   
   with the FBI to collect Americans’ data."   
      
   The lawmakers demanded that Bank of America turn over all communications   
   from Jan. 1, 2021 to the present between or among Bank of America   
   employees, officials or consultants related to the provision of financial   
   records to the FBI during that timeframe. They also asked for all records   
   related to the bank’s communications with the Justice Department from   
   January 2021 to the present.   
      
   FBI WHISTLEBLOWERS SAY PRO-LIFE GROUPS, CATHOLICS WERE 'TARGET OF THE   
   GOVERNMENT': JORDAN   
      
   The two lawmakers are also demanding Bank of America turn over all   
   documents and communications related to any "internal database of firearms   
   purchases made by [Bank of America] customers."   
      
   "This letter serves as a formal request to preserve all existing and   
   future records and materials relating to the topics addressed in this   
   letter," they wrote. "You should construe this preservation notice as an   
   instruction to take all reasonable steps to prevent the destruction or   
   alteration, whether intentionally or negligently, of all documents,   
   communications, and other information, including electronic information   
   and metadata, that are or may be responsive to this congressional   
   inquiry."   
      
   Bank of America did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request   
   for comment.   
      
   The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for
