(CNN)The House select committee investigating the Capitol insurrection is now in possession of White House records that provide new details about a phone call Donald Trump made to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan on January 6, 2021 -- as the investigation drills down on the former President's communications that day and questions have long swirled around calls between him and lawmakers.

Two sources who have reviewed the call records tell CNN that Trump spoke on the phone at the White House residence with Jordan for 10 minutes on the morning of January 6. That afternoon, Jordan took to the House floor to object to the certification of President Joe Biden's Electoral College win, and pro-Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol.

A key focus of the committee's investigation has been on the runup to the insurrection and the myriad ways Trump and his allies, including those in Congress, tried to overturn the election results. The new details about the morning phone call come as the committee is debating whether to move forward with a subpoena for Jordan after he refused to voluntarily appear for an interview.

Since Jordan acknowledged last summer that he spoke to Trump on the phone that day, the Ohio Republican and Trump loyalist has waived off questions about it or been inconsistent in his answers.

1. "I have nothing to hide."

Pshhhh. Yeah. Tell me about it, Gym.

[erronis]

2. Gym's jock trap stinks.

3. We know why Gym Jordan does not want to testify

4. Updated story says they spoke for 10 minutes

[Submariner]

5. Joseph Goebbels was a Nazi runt too just like Gym

[Marthe48]

6. If gym did nothing wrong, tell us

If he has the courage of his f**king convictions, tell us.

He, like all of the others who won't come to the committee, knows he did wrong, knows he has betrayed his oath of office and did not defend The Consitution of the U.S.A. None of them have the guts to defend their loyalty to traitor and putin.

[hadEnuf]

20. Jordan has no convictions.

He is a bottom of the outhouse traitor and insurrectionist just like his brethren Hawley, Greene, Cawthorn and the rest of the Trump goose stepping scum.

He doesn't deserve the benefit of a doubt on anything he says or does.

7. tRump gave Jordan a medal for it five days later January 11th

10. +1

19. Much like Hitler promoting Paulus to Generaleldmarschall at Stalingrad.

With the promotion came the pointed reminder that no one of that rank had ever been taken captive.

[Raven123]

21. Yeah, follow the medals, the pardons and the money. Pretty wide and straight path

[Lonestarblue]

8. Subpoena him. He'll likely plead the 5th, but he'll have to explain that to voters.

Of course, a subpoena may be useless. How many weeks has it been since the DOJ has done nothing about Mark Meadows? As the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied.

9. I Get The Feeling That Gym Doesn't Know What Day It Is...

If he doesn't know when those conversations took place. Perhaps he has traumatic brain injuries - from being repeatedly body slammed into the wrestling mat - that have resulted in chronic traumatic encephalopathy*. CTE would certainly explain some of his bizarre behaviors and inability to remember facts. 😁

*Not to make light of those who actually do have TBI and CTE. It's more likely that Gym just has a congenital defect in his cranium...something like anencephalopathy.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Of course he did.

This should surprise no one.

[ancianita]

12. That mealymouthed simpering liar. Now the Jan 6 Committee knows.

May that motherfuckin' snake get multiple indictments for conspiracy to commit sedition.

[Midnight Writer]

13. 10 minutes? Probably just phone sex.

[Traildogbob]

15. How do we

Expect him to remember that? He’s a busy man. He talks to Donald all the time. Hubbida hubbida hubbida…….your telling me he is a liar. A Christian liar that allowed sexual abuse of athletes. Sounds about right. All ya gotta say is he is Republican. That covers ALL his criminal activities. Ya don’t have to wear Jackets in prison. But shower activities are looked over there too. Karma!!!

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Did you speak to Trump before or after the attack? Whaaa? Whaaa? Whaaaaaat?

17. Love this! May the DOJ go all Samuel L. Jackson on his and Trump's ass.

18. Rut-row. Looks like someone's in trouble...

23. I hope Gym likes orange stripes

Prior to the panel asking for Jordan's voluntary cooperation, he was identified as one of the lawmakers who sent a text message to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that the committee has in its possession.

The message, which Jordan forwarded to Meadows on January 5, outlined a legal theory that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to stand in the way of the certification of the 2020 election. The text message is just one example of how Jordan provided a megaphone to the narrative that the election had been stolen from Trump.

The panel's letter to Jordan also sought to learn more about any communications he had with Trump's allies, legal team and staffers about potential organizing, planning or strategizing around January 6.

When Jordan indicated earlier this month that he doesn't plan to cooperate and dismissed the committee's investigation as illegitimate, a spokesperson for the panel said that Jordan is a "material witness" because he has admitted to speaking directly with Trump on January 6.

24. Do they record all phone conversations with the President?

[yardwork]

25. Imagine how painfully stupid that call was.

Trump blathering for 10 minutes and Jordan grunting in agreement.
