To read the articles & the 5 older ones, just tap on the thread.

Some paragraphs from the first story:

..."Jordan, who leads the conservative Freedom Caucus in the U.S. House, used to work as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State from 1986-1994. In a story first reported by NBC News, two former Ohio State wrestlers allege Jordan and the broader sports administration knew Strauss regularly showered with students and touched them inappropriately during exams."

"A statement from Jordan’s office says he never saw, heard about or received reports of abuse during his tenure as a coach. The statement says Jordan will support investigators however he can, because “if what is alleged is true, the victims deserve a full investigation and justice.”

But according to a special counsel appointed by the Ohio Attorney General, investigators had previously reached out to Jordan's office by phone and email requesting an interview without response. The special counsel's letter says "The investigative team is continuing its efforts to schedule an interview with Rep. Jordan, as well as other individuals with potential knowledge relating to the allegations."

snip
"Ohio State's investigation into Strauss, which is being led by the outside firm Perkins Coie LLP, recently expanded to potential abuse against high school-aged students. Investigators have talked to hundreds of interviews so far, receiving allegations of misconduct from athletes in 14 different sports as well as from non-students outside the university."


A lot is going on.

Deny & spin by Jordan.
