Current news
How old is Jim Jordan? In 2021, he is 57, and he still appears on Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN on a regular basis. He is currently in the spotlight for his communications with Donald Trump surrounding the attack on the Capitol, and his attempts raised doubts on the integrity of the 2020 US presidential election.
Jim Jordan's popularity continues to rise in the Republican Party despite the fact that he may be subpoenaed as a material witness to the investigation of the Capitol attack on 6 January 2021. He is unwilling to testify voluntarily and will neither confirm or deny if he spoke to Trump before the attack.
“I don't know if I spoke with him in the morning or not. I just don't know. I'd have to go back. I don't know when those conversations happened...What I know is the former president’s not to blame”

This investigation may add fuel to the fire of conflict in Congress between the Democratic and Republican Parties.
Spokesman Russell Dye defended his Ohio Representative, stating:
“Mr. Jordan is undoubtedly one of the most effective and influential members of Congress. As the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, which manages more high profile legislation than any committee in Congress, Mr. Jordan is able to impact and change more legislation than maybe any other Republican in the House of Representatives. But don’t just take our word for it, even Politico named him one of the most influential members of Congress. Any ‘study’ that says otherwise is misguided.”

This wrestler-turned-politician will continue to appear in the spotlight as the investigations surrounding the Capitol attack continue.
