Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding interviews with Twitter’s former censorship chief and the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Daily Caller has learned.
Jordan wrote letters Friday to former Twitter Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth and former CISA director Christopher Krebs requesting transcribed interviews for the Judiciary Committee’s ongoing investigation into how government agencies worked with tech companies to censor political speech.

“We believe that you are uniquely positioned to aid the Committee’s oversight, as you served as Twitter’s Head of Trust & Safety until 2022. Accordingly, as part of the Committee’s constitutional oversight obligations, we write to request that you appear for a transcribed interview with the Committee,” Jordan wrote to Roth.
Roth was one of the Twitter executives who decided to censor the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election, according to internal documents known as the “Twitter files.” Roth was fired when Elon Musk bought Twitter and took the company private.
“We believe that you are uniquely positioned to aid the Committee’s oversight, as you served as the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which, under your leadership, participated in efforts to unconstitutionally monitor and censor Americans’ speech on social media platforms,” Jordan wrote to Krebs.
CISA worked with non profits social media platforms to monitor speech about elections ahead of the 2020 presidential election and the 2022 midterms, the House Judiciary Committee has shown. Krebs was fired by former President Donald Trump after the 2020 presidential election.
