Rep. Jordan: Report confirms denials of knowledge of sexual abuse at Ohio State

By John Wagner and John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow Mike DeBonis Mike DeBonis Congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives Email Bio Follow May 17 at 12:42 PM Rep. Jim Jordan said Friday that he felt vindicated by an investigative report that cited no evidence that he knew about alleged sexual abuse three decades ago at Ohio State University when he worked as an assistant wrestling coach.

After allegations of abuse came to light, several former Ohio State wrestlers claimed last year that Jordan knew or must have known about the inappropriate behavior allegedly taking place in the athletic department between 1987 and 1995 when he worked as a coach.[Ohio State team doctor sexually abused 177 students over decades, report finds]

The report was the result of a year-long investigation by the law firm Perkins Coie and involved interviews with more than 500 former students and university employees.

Liar. He did it. Money and secrecy. Look at him,he's a bad evil liar.

Don't believe you Gym

Two choices, he knew and he's lying or he was a really lousy coach who didn't know what his players were experiencing.

pbump FAKE NEWS 😂😂

Reenactment of what happens Jordan goes into Trumps office

tiny policy in effect: LIE LIE AND LIE AGAIN

Rep Jordan is a nasty person can't imagine anyone loving this person not even as a child A LEOPARD DOES NOT CHANGE IT'S SPOTS there is no SOUL n this man just greed so if u vote 4 him u no he will deny deny deny he's a FOLLOWER OF THE GOP N MITCH not much there

🚿🗣 no shit now what?

Effing tool

How is it that not one young athletic young person did not react as most of us would and drop anyone whose hands and attitude got weird? I'm asking the rest of the males especially athletes if their reflex action with not be very quick if someone dared to touch them?

Nonsense. Liar. JimJordanMustResign OhioState

Ahhh, thoughts and prayers Jimmy! Maybe hit the showers....or not. Jim_Jordan

Yawn

And the Mueller Report exonerates trumpovitch. What novel ways these reports are being interpreted. trump - GUILTY; Jordan - GUILTY

Bullshit . 4 have publicly stated he knew and did nothing . But it's what you would expect from Ohio state.

He’s a liar.

Lock him up!!!!

If one former wrestler had accused GymJordan I might believe it wasn't true but several former wrestlers said Jim knew about the abuse. I'm one to believe that Jim made clandestine moves to clear his 'good' name.

Confirms denials of confirmation of those denials.Such a character.

Just like there was no collusion or obstruction. Would Jordan ever let a Democrat off the hook?

The word is 'LIE.'

That is an odd sentence. He continues to deny.

Nothing will happen and republicans will re-elect him as many time as he wants,republicans always enable abuse,it is toughness to them

I thought it said it was exonerated?! He just copied Trump moves?

'Man on boy sex isn't abuse,' says Little Jimmy No-Jacket. 'It is just horseplay. I like horse play. Especially if you are the back of the horse!'

Wha gah sure Gym

Maybe he was in the shower and had soap in his ears?

Gym Jordan knew. He's a corrupt Republikkkan.

I don’t believe you gym Jim_Jordan

Can you say cover up. Many of those athlete say he HAD to know and I believe some of them told him. So Gym......Bullshit.

somebody wants to file charges and have him go through a trial then so be it, otherwise let’s MoveOn. If somebody had any evidence that he did something re-forward file charges go through the process. Quit asking people to step down because you don’t like what they do

Me thinks thou does protest too much.

Why are there about 10 times more Republican politicians than Democratic politicians involved in shady sex scandals? Are Democratic that much more honorable or is it just lower libido?

Your paper makes fair to midland fish wrap. Other than that it is useless and devoid of objectivity, owned and controlled by a cheating billionaire.

Trump denied having ever met Stormy!!

Ow there is a liar.

He knew.

The entire GOP has a credibility problem. Even within the cult, not everyone will give you a pass Gym. 177. Young MEN. Sexually assaulted. While you happen to be looking away?

LawrenceConnol2 Did about 100 of them already confirm they told him?

He knew all along. He's far from innocent.

Pants on fire

Wasn't he on SNL

So Rep. Jordan is just like catholic bishops?

He had alot of nerve saying he didn't know about it. He lies for Trump what do you expect!

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Who cares if they confirm a denial? Non news.

Hahahahaha Hahahahaha

How does one not know about abuse in front of your face? Either you're stupid or willfully blind, and it either case unfit to serve.

Sadly he fits right into the Republican mold. Probably get a “way to go, Bro” from Lindsay and tRump

Another damn CREEPO

Now here’s a man you can believe! 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like the democrats on the Lt Governor of Virginia.

When all attempts have exhausted, try again....

he knew

Down is up and up is down according to Jim. He knew.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Off course he will like other criminals who will defend & he should defend himself.

If he didn’t know then he sure as hell wasn’t doing his job as a coach.

Gym Jordan is typical of the corrupt republicans in Congress

Gym knew of no wrong doing then, just as he knows there is nothing wrong going on in the White House. WillfullyBlind HeadInTheSand

I do not believe him!

Bull !

Bull shut! Another coverup.

It does nothing of the kind - the report doesn’t provide names. We will sniff out the truth about Gym Jordan - one dirty jock at a time.

Let’s repost the witnesses’ statements

Rep. Jordan LIES

He knew...and chose to do nothing.

Little jimmy Jordan covered up sexual abuse that is going to be a great campaign slogan conspiracy deep state and sexual abuse what a great guy he is

I call BS

FakeNews reporting on denials what a joke they deny the TRUTH. Trump 2020

The report done by the compomised university is a whitewash not to be believef

Then he was either stupid or took part in the sexual assaults!

The report’s not going through a Barr filter, Gym. We know what it says.

Move on looons!!

He’s lying to save his own skin. Learned this from his buddy Trump

Are you kidding? He used the same Dr. for “physicals” and that’s why protected him back then.

Confirms denials....

Good Republican, bad human!

Jim Jordan is a disgrace.

I know nothing.

GYM is guilty and needs to be locked up!

Jordan can deny all he wants but the truth is out here now!

The report covers up my knowledge of sexual abuse at Ohio State. Fixed it for you.

Jim_Jordan lies. He knew.

He’s lying to try and protect his ass

Liar. Zero credibility.

What is he going to do when there's irrefutable evidence showing that he DID know what was going on?

let me see an investigation paid for by the university to try and dismiss lawsuits by students stating employees knew. The investigation concludes employees (Gym) didn't know...what a shock total vindication.

Jim_Jordan needs to resign and be investigated for covering up this abuse.

If (and this is a huge if) this is true he was clearly exceptionally incompetent, if not grossly negligent, in safeguarding the wellbeing of his students.

We knew Jim_Jordan loved little boys... He should resign for being what the world knows he is... PedophileLover PedophileEnabler

sure thing..who paid for the investigation and what does the university have to gain by saying gym did not know?

Gym Gym Gym. Go away quietly now.

You liked it Jim didn't you? Cmonnn you liked it Jim didn't you ? Yes you did, cmonnn tell us all about it ! Oh no you don't you liked it and wanted more ! Cmonnnn! Own up ! Cmonn Jimmy don't lie now! Safe to say how you will be remembered ! Sad shit !!!

In other words he knew all about it. This is 1984

Just a lie. Despicable man.

Way to go, GYM! LyingPays

He had all the info about the abuse...It was in the pocket of his suit coat...(pat,pat,pat) 'Hey...where's muh Coat?'

Liar, Liar, pants on Fire!!

This is a total nonsense... Jim_Jordan knew about it and was 100% part of the cover-up... LockHimUp

Oh sure. We should believe him why?

A report about his ignorance being his only defense.

Why is Wapo repeating his lies? That’s not what the report says. It says leaders, staff, coaches DID know. Gym pants needs to be held liable for failing to report.

CLUELESS in Columbus? What a piece of 🐴💩.

Hey Jim_Jordan you were a MANDATORY REPORTER and required by LAW to report the sexual abuse that was going on. You DID NOTHING. You own it Jimmy.

A truly republican rat!!

Denial of verifiable facts is the GOP default position. Witnesses have sworn that Gym Jordan knew about the chronic sexual abuse, and did nothing.

Yeah, fuck this guy

Liar..

Jim_Jordan joker of the year

😉😉

Well I believe him (said no one ever)

Who believes him?

This is Jim Jordan's skeleton in the closet. He knew. Boys from OSU said he knew.

How proud he is to have been totally unaware of all the horror going on around him. How checked out can one be?

He knew!

Jordan's going down ... and not in the way Dr. Strauss would've wanted him to.

Creepy Jim.... arrest him.

If we are bringing up old stories, hows Virginia going? Run by Dem leaders in balck face and by a man actually credibly accused of sexually harassing women. But let’s talk Jim Jordan. Too funny.

This Fuckers knew

Liar

Oh, Gym....

Headlock him up!

He's a Republican politician because the only thing he is qualified to do is lie.

No it doesn’t, you rape enabling c***!

Jordan knew all along just like Paterno knew about Sandusky!

I knew he would try to spin this as a positive. Jim_Jordan You did NOTHING while these men were being harrassed. You abdicated your duty to PROTECT THEM.

'Does Attorney General Barr have a brother or son that can run legal interference and conduct a public relations campaign for me?'

Call it what it is. Lies

Sure Gym...
