Republican Congressman Jim Jordan told a House committee on Wednesday that he spoke with former President Trump on January 6, the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, but said he was unsure how many times or when exactly the conversations transpired.
"Of course I talked to the president, I talked to him that day, I've been clear about that. I don't recall the number of times, but it's not about me. I know you want to make it about that," Jordan said under questioning by Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern.
The Ohio congressman told McGovern he had spoken with Mr. Trump after -- but not before or during the attack. However, he later reconsidered, telling the committee's top Republican, Congressman Tom Cole, that it was possible they had spoken beforehand.
