(LifeSiteNews) – Richard Grenell, former Director of National Intelligence under then-President Donald Trump, tweeted April 30 that Americans should beware of the new Biden administration’s “Ministry of Truth” freezing bank accounts in the name of protection against misinformation.
“Don’t be surprised if the Department of Misinformation freezes your ATM card until you delete your unapproved opinions,” Grenell wrote. “Democrats are weaponizing government agencies with reckless abandonment.”
The White House has already made an attempt to collect bank account information from Americans last October, through a directive to the IRS. According to a report from ABC News, the Biden administration had to back down “on a controversial proposal to direct the IRS to collect additional data on every bank account that sees more than $600 in annual transactions.”
The turnaround came “after widespread criticism from Republican lawmakers and banking industry representatives, who said the tax enforcement strategy represented a breach of privacy by the federal government,” according to the ABC report.
