Jordan’s actions come after House Republicans demanded that every Biden administration agency preserve all documents. “In addition to compliance with federal record retention laws, we are also expressly directing that all necessary steps be taken to preserve relevant Department documents and communications,” Republicans wrote to agency heads.
The letter from Jordan comes as the outgoing Biden administration attempts to push through last minute enforcement actions. President-elect Donald Trump, for his part, has pledged to make taking on woke corporations a feature of his tenure, a phenomenon for which many would attribute blame to Biden-era enforcers like Lina Khan and Kanter.
