Jim Jordan dodges question on whether he spoke to Trump before, during or after US Capitol riot

Republican Jim Jordan tip-toed around when exactly he spoke to Donald Trump on 6 January amid threats from the Capitol riot committee he could be called as a material witness to the investigation.

The Ohio congressman confirmed in an interview with Spectrum News that he spoke to the former president the day of the attack, but that he could not remember when the conversation took place.

“Yeah I mean — I spoke with the president last week, I speak with the president all of the time. I spoke with him on January 6," Mr Jordan said.
