Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, one of former President Donald Trump鈥檚 closest allies in Congress, has rejected a request for an interview by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
In a combative letter Sunday to committee chairman Bennie Thompson, Jordan says, 鈥淭he American people are tired of Democrats鈥� nonstop investigations and partisan witch hunts.鈥�

Thompson told Jordan in a letter last month that the panel wants him to provide information surrounding his communications with Trump on Jan. 6 and Trump鈥檚 efforts to challenge the result of the 2020 election.
鈥淲e understand that you had at least one and possibly multiple communications with President Trump on January 6th,鈥� the letter read. 鈥淲e would like to discuss each such communication with you in detail.鈥�
In his response Sunday, Jordan insisted, 鈥淚 have no relevant information that would assist the Select Committee in advancing any legitimate legislative purpose.鈥�
