(Bloomberg) -- House Republican Representative Jim Jordan is being warned he has until June 11 to comply with a subpoena to testify before the House Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol after challenging the committees authority.
Jordan was initially summoned to testify last week, but responded by challenging the panels constitutionality.
This week, Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson has fired back, instructing Jordan that he is flat wrong about the nine-member committees validity, pointing out that three US District Court decisions have upheld it is duly constituted and empowered.
Thompson underscores in a letter dated May 31 to Jordan, one of former President Donald Trumps key congressional allies, there are numerous meetings, calls and communications we would like to discuss with you.

(8,784 posts)I think they want Jordan in the hot seat if only for the sheer joy of watching Raskin/Schiff face off with that lying screeching prick..the J6 committee knows Jordan...they know he will lie, plead the 5th, claim selective amnesia, impugn the integrity of the committee, spew his trademark non-stop vomitus bilge..they're prepared for it...and he knows the committee has the evidence,, and that is why asswipe Jordan is dancing as fast as he can to find a way out of testifying...lawn chair, pop corn, beer..I'm ready!
and here's hoping the committee plays the video of Jordan's babbling deer-in-the-headlights response when asked if he spoke to Trump on January 6..Jordan, that shrieking baboon, was literally dumbfounded..
