Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has called for Congress to investigate the intelligence community in response to the release of journalist James O’Keefe’s bombshell undercover footage that shows a CIA official boasting intelligence agencies deliberately withheld information from President Donald Trump while he was in office.
“I’m formally calling on the @Weaponization Subcommittee to immediately launch an investigation into @OKeefeMedia Group’s bombshell report containing video evidence that American intelligence agencies withheld intelligence from President Donald Trump before & during his presidency and used Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorities to spy on President Trump,” said Gaetz.

Gaetz’s message was delivered almost immediately after O’Keefe’s Wednesday exposé revealed Amjad Fseisi, a program manager working in Cyber Operations for the CIA, admitting intel agencies “kept information” from Trump during his presidency.

O’Keefe released a follow-up post on X detailing CIA press secretary Chelsea Robinson’s statement denying all the claims made in the video, even referring to Fseisi as a “former contractor who does not represent the CIA.”
Gaetz joined Alex Jones and O’Keefe on X Spaces to slam the response and raise alarm on the current state of America’s intelligence community.
“The reaction from the CIA is so couched, it is functionally an admission,” said Gaetz Wednesday evening on X. “It showcases the connection of this individual to the very information stream that we’re concerned about.”
“I’m startled by what we see but not surprised. Because as jarring as it is, it is a constellation of facts that we’ve uncovered in the Judiciary Committee and in the Weaponization Subcommittee that there is an effort underway to try to shape the nature of truth itself by shaping what can be seen and what can be received – particularly by those in power.”
Gaetz continued, “There’s a cabal in Washington that wants to control the access to information, both upward to decision-makers and downward to the populace. This is not a partisan issue, the way the intelligence community works around here is frightening.”

During the conversation, Jones stressed to Gaetz how effective real hearings would be to stop the globalist coup now that such powerful evidence of the president being intentionally given false intelligence reports exists.
Gaetz responded, “Where I think you’re right on this, Alex, is if we don’t create some consequence or exposure to this, it WILL happen again.”
In his letter to the Weaponization Subcommittee, Gaetz implored Ohio Republican and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan to open a formal investigation into the “concerning actions” allegedly perpetrated by the intelligence community against Trump.
“Given that the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has broad jurisdiction to investigate the role of executive branch agencies in investigating American citizens, any unconstitutional, illegal, or unethical activities committed by said agencies (CIA & NSA), as well as any other related violations of the civil liberties of the citizens of the United States, I am formally requesting that the Weaponization Subcommittee open a formal investigation into the concerning actions allegedly perpetrated by the intelligence community against President Trump as exhibited in the video footage that has been uncovered by James O’Keefe and O’Keefe Media.”

“James O’Keefe has broken the story of the century!” said Jones in a post on X. “Congress must haul these traitors in NOW for a public interrogation!”
