Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan emerged as a material witness due to revealing he spoke with now-former President Donald Trump around the time of the January 6th Capitol riots. However, it appears that Jordan was caught in a lie when the Trump White House call logs refuted the claims he made about his call with Trump.
CNN’s Ryan Nobles reports that the Trump White House records that were turned over to the congressional committee probing the Capitol riots contradict the claims Jordan made regarding his phone conversation with the twice-impeached former president on Jan. 6th. Nobles noted that Jordan also made a different claim that the call logs also refuted before the House Rules Committee.
According to Nobles, two sources that were able to review the call logs revealed that on Jan. 6th, Trump called Jordan in a conversation that lasted 10 minutes. The revelation comes as Jordan has repeatedly attempted to dodge questions regarding his phone conversation with the former president on the morning of that day.
“Almost every time he’s been asked a question about his communication with Donald Trump, he’s given a different answer, including today when he told CNN that he only remembers talking to the former president as he left the House floor on Jan. 6th,” said Nobles.
“That’s something he’s never said before. He also told the House Rules Committee at one point that he thought the only time he spoke to the former president was after the attack. That directly contradicts what we’re learning, and also what he said today. And there are members of the Rules Committee making note of that,” Nobles added.
Jordan was among the House Republicans who voted to object to the election results. The Ohio congressman’s phone conversation with Trump on Jan. 6th also comes as the congressional committee is looking to get him to testify among the Republican members of Congress that they have invited.
Back in December, Jordan’s office confirmed that the Ohio Republican congressman was among the damning texts sent to Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Jordan’s text was among the messages of several other Republicans who supported the plan of having now-former vice president Mike Pence overturn the election results.
