Union Reports 108 Attacks on Palestinian Journalists in July
The committee seeks emails and financial records as critics call the move a partisan attack on press freedom.
- In July, the House Ways and Means Committee issued a subpoena against BreakThrough News, demanding internal emails and financial records under the guise of investigating "foreign influence" in the tax-exempt nonprofit sector.
- Republican Jason Smith leads the committee and has consistently voted to provide billions of dollars to the Israeli military while launching investigations into student protests against the genocide in Gaza.
- The subpoena followed a 100-page report by Secretary of State Marco Rubio framing Cuba as a threat; The Freedom of the Press Foundation urged Congress to withdraw the subpoenas, calling it an "awful precedent."
- Rania Khalek, host of "Dispatches" and "BT Live," described the probe as a "McCarthyist witch hunt," asserting the attack aims to shut down the organized left's ability to inform people.
- Khalek links the effort to a right-wing ecosystem involving White House political adviser Stephen Miller, stating this playbook represents a "long-standing goal of this administration" to dismantle the organized left.
