US Supreme Court upended decades of precedent in 2022 by allowing voters to vote with gerrymandered maps instead of fixing the congressional districts first 
In the Jan. 6 congressional committee’s investigation into the Capitol insurrection, among the Republican lawmakers that emerged in the probe is Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. As Jordan has refused to testify out of not wanting to offend former President Donald Trump, a reader ripped into the Ohio lawmaker in their letter to the editor.
Ohio reader Tina Korobij of Strongsville, ripped into Jordan in her letter to the editor published Feb. 20 on Cleveland.com. Ms. Korobij accused Jordan and other Trump loyalists such as former chief of staff Mark Meadows, former adviser Steve Bannon, and attorney Rudy Giuliani among other Trump loyalists, of putting party over country by refusing to testify. To note, Bannon has been indicted by the Justice Department for refusal to cooperate with the committee.
Ms. Korobij cited first lady Jackie Kennedy’s testimony to the Warren Commission seven months after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in comparison. Ms. Korobij went on to say that Jordan, Meadows, Bannon, and Giuliani, among other Trump loyalists, are “too cowardly to testify” before the panel.
Ms. Korobij also described Jan. 6, in the same manner, that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt described the Pearl Harbor attacks. “A date that will live in infamy.”
“They fear incurring the wrath of Trump, joining the sycophants, toadies, and the groveling/quaking Republican congressional minions crawling down to Mar-a-Lago to pledge fealty to a man devoid of loyalty, integrity, or honor,” Ms. Korobij wrote.
Meadows initially cooperated with the committee, only to ultimately walk back his cooperation, likely under the instruction of Trump’s attorneys.
Jordan has previously confirmed that he spoke with Trump on Jan. 6 only to flip-flop on his account of the events. CNN reporter Ryan Nobles revealed earlier this month that Jordan’s claim about his contact with Trump on Jan. 6 contradicts with the White House call logs.
Nobles explained that according to two people who have seen the White House call logs, Trump called Jordan on the morning of Jan. 6, which lasted for 10 minutes. This was contrary to Jordan’s claim that he only spoke to Trump when he left the House floor. Nobles also revealed that Jordan told the House Rules Committee that he only spoke to Trump after the siege at one point.
