WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan invited three former Biden White House officials to appear at a May 1 public hearing to discuss their pressure on companies to censor online content — as the Supreme Court considers whether the administration violated the First Amendment by pressuring platforms such as Facebook to yank posts and videos.

Jordan (R-Ohio) invited former White House director of digital strategy Rob Flaherty, former COVID-19 coordinator Andy Slavitt and former COVID-19 digital director Clarke Humphrey after Flaherty and Slavitt flouted Jordan’s earlier subpoenas requiring their testimony in closed-door depositions.

“The Committee on the Judiciary is continuing to conduct its investigation into how and to what extent the Executive Branch has coerced and colluded with companies and other intermediaries to censor speech,” Jordan wrote to the group.
