Jim Jordan wants to speak with Nina Jankowicz.
According to a report from The Daily Wire, Jim Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee has finally subpoenaed former disinformation czar Nina Jankowicz after she ignored requests to appear.
“We have repeatedly sought information from you concerning your official actions and duties as a DHS employee and former Executive Director of the Board, including how the Board intended to define disinformation, how it planned to collect information and from what sources, how it anticipated countering disinformation, and how it proposed to protect First Amendment rights,” Jordan wrote in his letter to Jankowicz and her lawyers.
“We first wrote to you on May 5, 2022, requesting your voluntary cooperation with our oversight of the Board, its operations, and your work as Executive Director.1 In a subsequent letter dated December 1, 2022, we again requested that you provide documents and appear for a voluntary transcribed interview with the Committee.2 We reiterated our request for a voluntary transcribed interview in the 118th Congress in letters dated January 27, 2023, February 16, 2023, and March 1, 2023.3 To date, however, you have declined to comply voluntarily with our request for a transcribed interview,” Jordan continues.
“Accordingly, and in light of your disregard of our earlier voluntary requests, please find attached a subpoena compelling you to appear for a deposition,” Jordan adds.

From The Daily Wire:
In a video posted to YouTube last week, Jankowicz claimed the board was subject to “baseless claims” that it was an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” and she was President Joe Biden’s “chief censor.”
Jankowicz said her job really was meant “to make sure different entities within DHS were coordinated, to bring the latest research to bear in the Department, and to help the Department set up policies to ensure its existing counter-disinformation work was grounded in American values: privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.”
