Rep. Jim Jordan demands answers from IRS after it sent an agent to Twitter Files journalist's home in an apparent 'effort to intimidate a witness'

[The Blaze] A prominent independent journalist who has worked doggedly to expose government overreach online received an unexpected visit from the Internal Revenue Service earlier this month. The IRS happened to darken Matt Taibbi's doorstep the same day he testified before Congress about the weaponization of the federal government.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is demanding accountability as it pertains to this apparent statist "attempt to intimidate a witness before Congress."

What's the background?

Taibbi has been instrumental in the curation and publication of the Twitter Files, which have served to expose the exertion of control by the federal government over speech and information online in recent years.

In one instance, he detailed the "constant and pervasive" communications between Twitter and the FBI concerning what narratives to quash and what claims to censor. He also documented the efforts of California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff's office to silence the free press and remove unfavorable content on the platform.
