The House Judiciary Committee will host a second Department Of Justice (DOJ) whistleblower hearing before Attorney General William Barr testifies in front of the committee, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller.

In a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the committee, ripped Nadler for refusing to release the names of witnesses that are scheduled to appear at a hearing on July 23. In the letter, Jordan told Nadler he expects the witnesses to consume the committee’s time by attacking Barr before he testifies on July 28 about politicization at the DOJ.

“We understand that you intend to convene a hearing of the Committee on July 23, 2020, to provide yet another public platform for presumably disgruntled witnesses to attack Attorney General William P. Barr. Your oddly personal obsession with attacking the Attorney General— and using the Committee’s limited time and resources to do it—has sadly become a vanity project. In feeding your vanity, you have declined to use Committee time and energy on issues of bipartisan significance that can truly help our constituents and instead chosen to focus the Committee on your fruitless partisan pursuits,” Jordan wrote in the letter to Nadler.

“Because you have declined to share details about the witnesses that you intend to call on July 23, we can only assume based on the witnesses at your previous hearing that the upcoming testimony will consist of hearsay, politicized innuendo, and decades-old professional grudges. On June 24, you gave a public platform for three witnesses to air one-sided professional and personal grievances with the Attorney General,” the letter continues.

The letter goes after John Elias, a chief of staff to the DOJ’s assistant attorney general in the antitrust division testified for Democrats on June 24. Elias was one of three witnesses who accused Barr of abuse of his authority during the Judiciary Committee hearing.

Nadler’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller when asked about the witnesses and Jordan’s letter.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
