Jim Jordan Shares He Spoke With Trump ‘More Than Once’ on Jan. 6

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) spoke with former President Donald Trump on January 6 “more than once” — the day rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

After he and other lawmakers were evacuated and taken to a safe room on January 6, “Jordan was joined by Rep. MATT GAETZ (R-Fla.) for a call during which they implored Trump to tell his supporters to stand down, per a source with knowledge of that call. The source declined to say how Trump responded to this request,” as Politico reports.

Jordan told Politico he would “have to think about it” whether or not Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) participated in the phone call that day.

The Ohio lawmaker also told Politico’s Olivia Beavers, “Look, I definitely spoke to the president that day. I don’t recall — I know it was more than once, I just don’t recall the times.”

Jordan later confirmed he was “sure” that one of those calls took place in the safe room “because we were in that room forever.”

The Congressman did not specify what he spoke with the then-president about, but noted he wanted the National Guard to be mobilized.

A spokesperson for Gaetz told the publication, “Congressman Gaetz speaks with President Trump regularly and doesn’t disclose the substance of those discussions with the media.”
