Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) formally replied on Sunday to the January 6 select committee’s request to meet with him as part of its investigation, denouncing the request as “outside the bounds of any legitimate inquiry.”
Jordan gave his reply in a letter obtained by Breitbart News and addressed to committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) after weeks of reviewing the committee’s request, which was made December 22.
“This request is far outside the bounds of any legitimate inquiry, violates core Constitutional principles, and would serve to further erode legislative norms,” Jordan wrote.
Read a copy of the letter below:
The January 6 committee, created by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), has targeted former President Donald Trump and his allies as it investigates the “facts, circumstances, and causes” of the riot that occurred January 6 at the U.S. Capitol, and the committee members have been vocal in their belief that Trump and those in his orbit are to blame for provoking the incident, as well as not doing enough to stop it once it had started.
The committee has gone so far as to issue dozens of subpoenas to allies of Trump, but it has not subpoenaed members of Congress. The closest it has come to such a move is to send official letters to both Jordan and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, to request meetings with the pair.
In its letter to Jordan, the committee requested the Ohio Republican’s “voluntary cooperation” with the investigation, stating it knew of “at least one and possibly multiple communications” Jordan had with Trump on the day of the riot.

Every Republican needs to be like Jim Jordan.
Schiff tampered with evidence. That made this investigation illegitimate.
He’s going to be President one day.
Yes, and more of them could emulate Devin Nunes too.
It would not be a bad thing.
Good for him.
I would like to see a DeSantis / Jordan ticket!,
It’s an illegitimate body.
Republicans were to choose 2 members. They did, and those 2 were removing replaced by Democrats.
That the Democrat chosen replacements were RINO’s does not matter.
Congresscritters are members of the legislative branch.
The only legitimate investigative powers they have must be related to legislation.
They have no criminal investigative powers because separation of powers.
“Eff you! A strong letter follows!”
An “FU Commies” would be a good response.
They also don’t have a legitimate ranking minority member on the committee making their subpoena power invalid.
I’ll vote for him, and I suggest Tom Fitton as his VP choice!
Jim Jordan; future POTUS material.
Why hasn’t the kangaroo committee issued a subpoena to buffalo shaman guy?
He was at the riot & has been sentenced to 41 months.(more time than Jefferson Davis served after the Civil War)
When is the kangaroo committee going to investigate actual rioters?
Instead of the current “lets get Trump,Trump,Trump investigation.”
Jordan did the right thing by telling the kangaroo committee to pound sand.
Jim Jordan is who I want to see made Speaker of the House instead of the worthless RINO Kevin McCarthy.
Jim Jordan does good work.
He was the one investigating all the China breaches into our colleges and business R & D under Trump.
Yes, I do think he could be Presidential material.
