Rep. Gym Jordan appears to acknowledge speaking with Trump on Jan. 6
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) appeared to acknowledge Tuesday night that he spoke with President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, increasing the likelihood that he will be called to testify before the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters.
Jordan, a staunch Trump ally, was pressed on the subject during an interview on Fox News. At first, he offered a vague answer, saying that he speaks frequently with Trump but doesn’t think it’s appropriate to share what they talk about.
Asked specifically about Jan. 6 by anchor Bret Baier, Jordan said: “Yes. I mean I’ve talked to the president, I’ve talked to the president so many — I can’t remember all the days I have talked to him, but I have certainly talked to the president.”
Jordan’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

Rep. Jim Jordan - whom Republicans nominated to investigate the Capitol riot - now says he spoke to Trump on the day but won’t say what they talked about
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said he had spoken to then-President Donald Trump on the day of the Capitol riot, but wouldn't say what they talked about.
In a Tuesday interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, Jordan discussed the opening day of the House Select Committee appointed to investigate the January 6 riot.
ordan was previously slated as one of the five Republicans to serve on the bipartisan panel by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, but was barred from taking part by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over concerns about his role pushing the bogus election-fraud claims that instigated the violence.
One the key questions that lawmakers on the panel will seek to answer is what specifically Trump did on the day of the riot after delivering his incendiary speech to supporters near the Capitol.
