Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Wednesday struggled to answer questions about his communications with then-President Donald Trump during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, telling a House panel that he doesnt recall the number of times he spoke with Trump that day.
The statement from Jordan, a staunch Trump ally and a potential witness in the Houses investigation of the attack, came during a Rules Committee meeting on whether to hold former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon in contempt for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena.
Of course I talked to the president, Jordan told members of the Rules Committee on Wednesday, in response to questioning from the panels chairman, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.). I talked to him that day. Ive been clear about that. I dont recall the number of times, but its not about me. I know you want to make it about that.
