The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Federal Government is holding a hearing to examine federal government-sanctioned internet suppression and attacks on journalists.
The hearing will feature testimony from Matt Taibbi, Twitter Files journalist and author; Michael Shellenberger, Twitter Files journalist, author, and environmentalist; Rupa Subramanya, Canada-based journalist for The Free Press; and Olivia Troye, former Homeland Security Advisor and Counterterrorism Advisor, Office of Vice President Pence.
This comes one year after Matt Taibi began reporting on the Twitter Files, revealing massive government collusion in censoring conservatives and conservative pages like The Gateway Pundit.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, The IRS opened an investigation into Taibbi on Christmas Eve 2022, just a few weeks after he began posting “Twitter Files.” The weaponized IRS also showed up at Matt Taibbi’s home on March 9 in an effort to intimidate him.
