Rep. Jim Jordan, After Dodging Question, Admits He Spoke To Trump On Jan. 6
HuffPost
The Ohio Republican could be subpoenaed to testify about his exchanges with the then-president on the day the U.S. Capitol was attacked.
After ducking the question multiple times, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) admitted Tuesday on Fox News that he spoke to then-President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, but he refused to disclose what they discussed. Jordan, a staunch Trump ally, was rejected last week from joining the House select committee appointed to investigate the U.S. Capitol riot after his name was put forward by House Republican leadership. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she knocked back Jordan and one other of the five GOP picks, Jim Banks of Indiana, to protect the integrity of the investigation. The two men were among those who voted to overturn the presidential election based on Trump’s fiction about massive voter fraud and have both downplayed the reality of what happened on Jan. 6.More Related News
