"House Republican Stunned as Biden DOJ Official Unaware of Key First Amendment Case"

Kristen Clarke, a civil rights official at the Department of Justice (DOJ), faced criticism from lawmakers after claiming she was not familiar with a major First Amendment case. The case in question involves a court-ordered ban on certain communications between the Biden administration and Big Tech platforms, which state attorneys general accused of censoring speech on topics such as Hunter Biden's laptop and COVID-19 origins. During a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing, Rep. Dan Bishop questioned Clarke about her lack of knowledge regarding the case, leading to public backlash and concerns about the priorities of the DOJ's civil rights division.
