A former Ohio State wrestler accused Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) of repeatedly crying and begging him not to corroborate accounts of sexual abuse against the universitys wrestling team doctor that occurred when Jordan was a coach.
Adam DiSabato the brother of Mike DiSabato, the whistleblower who exposed the abuse by Richard Strauss testified Wednesday during a public hearing in the state legislature that when the story came out in July 2018, he received a phone call from a tearful Jordan.
Jim Jordan called me crying, crying, groveling, on the Fourth of July, begging me to go against my brother, begging me, crying for half an hour, Adam DiSabato said, according to video of his testimony. Thats the kind of coverups going on here.,,,,,
In the midst of the Trump impeachment proceedings in the House, which Jordan took an active and high-profile role in, a new lawsuit was filed in which one alleged victim of Strausss sexual misconduct said he had reported it to Jordan. Jordan has been named in one other lawsuit as having been told, but he is not named as a defendant in any of them.

OP
Gym may not have anything to offer the committee, since he was probably looking the other way.

I'm getting the impression that the GOP relies on desparate people who have lots to hide.
