Yesterday, @Weaponization subpoenaed Bank of America for sharing private financial data of customers with the FBI.
In 2021, BoA provided the FBI—voluntarily and without any legal process—with a list of individuals who made transactions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area using a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021.
When that information was brought to the attention of Steven Jensen, the FBI's then-Section Chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section, he acted to "pull" the BoA information from FBI systems because "the leads lacked allegations of federal criminal conduct."
Documents obtained by the Committee show that the FBI also provided BoA with specific search query terms, indicating that the FBI was "interested in all financial relationships" of BoA customers transacting in Washington D.C. and that had made "ANY historical purchase" of a firearm, or those who had purchased a hotel, Airbnb, or airline travel within a given date range.
This is a huge privacy concern.
