Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, denied any knowledge of sexual abuse that occurred against members of the Ohio State University wrestling team and said the five men accusing him of knowing and not doing anything about it are lying for reasons he does not know.
“It’s false. I mean, I never saw, never heard of, never was told about any type of abuse,” Jordan told Fox News host Bret Baier Friday evening. “Our coaching staff, we would have dealt with it. These were our student athletes. A good coach puts the interests of his student athletes first. We would have dealt with it if we would have known about anything that happened if, in fact, there are victims, they deserve justice.”
