Jordan an ardent supporter of President Trump during the impeachment hearings in the House of Representative could be seen regularly on television defending the president.
Adam DiSabato, a former captain of the OSU wrestling
team during the late 80s and early 90s, told members of the House Civil Justice
Committee that Jordan and other team officials knew about open-shower team
facilities that facilitated sexual harassment and abuse of team
wrestlers, an allegation Jordan has denied.
He also said Jordan called him repeatedly in July
2018, after media outlets quoted his brother, Michael DiSabato,
saying Strauss’ abuse was common knowledge to those surrounding the wrestling
program, including Jordan.
“Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling… begging me to
go against my brother…That’s the kind of cover-up that’s going on there,” he
said.
“Are you guys going to do what you’re voted to do?” he
told lawmakers later. “That’s the only reason I’m here.”
Jordan, an assistant coach for the wrestling team at
OSU from 1987 to 1995, has denied knowledge of lewd behavior at university
facilities. Adam DiSabato is among the former OSU wrestlers who have filed lawsuits against the school alleging it
ignored Strauss’ abuse.
