Jim Jordan Accuses Jan. 6 Committee of Having ‘Lied to the Country’

Republican Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio has accused the January 6 House committee of having "lied to the country" after being served with a subpoena.

Jordan and four of his House GOP colleagues including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy were subpoenaed by the committee last week. When asked whether he would comply with the subpoena by Spectrum News reporter Taylor Popielarz on Tuesday, Jordan indicated that he had not yet decided while lashing out at the committee for allegedly having "doctored evidence."

"We're taking a look at the subpoena, we just got it yesterday," Jordan said while walking to his Washington, D.C., office. "And we've already found that this committee has altered evidence and lied to the country."
