Jim Jordan is Fundraising Over Being Subpoenaed by the Jan 6th Committee

During the four years Donald Trump was in office, Jim Jordan was one of his most ardent supporters. So it is no surprise that Jordan was recently subpoenaed by the House’s January 6th committee.

Jordan’s reaction to the subpoena shows how much the GOP has changed since Trump came into power. Rather than worrying about the notice, the Ohio congressman has instead chosen to fundraise off of it.

According to Politico, the Ohio Rep. will send out a fundraising email that reads, “Trump-Hating Democrats witch hunt against me is getting out of hand. I, along with four other GOP lawmakers were subpoenaed by the partisan House Committee – created by Nancy Pelosi in an effort to use the events of January 6 as a political hit-job.”

Jordan also recently told Spectrum News, “We’re taking a look at the subpoena, we just got it yesterday. And we’ve already found that [the Jan. 6 committee] has altered evidence and lied to the country … So I think anyone would have reservations about going in front of a committee that’s already doctored evidence and lied to the country about it.”

Not surprisingly, the January 6th Commission has a different take on the matter. They wrote in a statement, “Jordan was in communication with President Trump on January 6th and participated in meetings and discussions throughout late 2020 and early 2021 about strategies for overturning the 2020 election.”
