Rep. Jim Jordan didn’t let pesky facts get in the way of defending Donald Trump against allegations made in the indictment charging him last week on 37 federal felony counts, the majority of which relate directly to “willful retention of national defense information.” During an appearance on CNN’s State of …

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) claims he has testimony from “dozens” of whistleblowers who’ve provided him with proof that the FBI is unfairly persecuting conservatives. This doesn’t actually seem to be the case. The first three of these witnesses whose testimony Jordan received were not really “whistleblowers,” but disaffected former FBI …

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s “field hearing” in New York City over violent crime — an attempted clapback against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s recent indictment of Donald Trump — got off to a chaotic start on Monday.

In early February, Republicans brought an FBI veteran to Capitol Hill whom they hoped would expose a “deep state conspiracy” among Democrats and their accomplices in the intelligence community. The GOP witness was part of a network of “whistleblowers” —funneled to congressional Republicans’ new Weaponization of Government panel by allies …

Some House Republicans had expected that their new subcommittee dedicated to probing the so-called “weaponization of the federal government” would have the same funding as the previous Congress’ efforts to investigate the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In fact, House Judiciary Republicans have officially requested only a …

When the members of the House’s new subcommittee on the “weaponization of government” took their seats for the first time on Thursday afternoon, chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) promised its first hearing would expose the “political nature of the Justice Department.” To make this point, Republican senators who testified before the …
