Federal investigators have been accused of overreaching surveillance by asking banks to flag transactions containing politically charged terms such as 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP', as well as purchases of Bibles and transactions from customers at Cabela's. Senator Ted Cruz and other Republican leaders have criticized these actions, suggesting that they represent an abuse of power and a disregard for Americans' privacy. Additionally, Cruz confronted Senator Dick Durbin over related issues. The controversy also extends to the Hunter Biden investigation, where James Comer, a member of the investigating committee, has been accused by an attorney for a witness of lying about the witness's closed-door testimony. The White House has labeled Comer's statements as blatant lies, further intensifying the debate over the integrity of the investigation and the use of government resources for political purposes.
