House Republicans demand records on Global Engagement Center's funding of groups targeting conservative media.
- The House Small Business Committee issued a subpoena to the State Department for documents on the Global Engagement Center's activities.
- Republicans allege the GEC funded organizations that pressured advertisers to boycott conservative media outlets.
- The subpoena follows a year-long investigation into the GEC's grant recipients and alleged censorship operations.

- The GEC's reauthorization and funding are at risk as Republicans seek to defund the office over these allegations.
