US House panel subpoenas FBI's Wray, DOJ's Garland in social media probe

House Republicans have subpoenaed the FBI and Department of Justice as part of their investigation into speech censorship by tech companies, citing inadequate cooperation from the agencies.
The subpoenas seek records of communication between the agencies and private companies regarding content moderation and the suppression of disfavored speech online.
The investigation is fueled by the Missouri v. Biden case, which argues that government contact with social media platforms resulted in the censoring of free speech and conservative views.
