Fact check: Video shows Rep. Gym Jordan questioning witness, no criminal charges levied
The claim: Video shows witness being immediately charged with a crime after lying to Rep. Jim Jordan
The caption of a Dec. 26, 2022, Facebook video claims it shows a congressional witness being charged with a crime immediately after lying to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. "Garland's witness tries to LIE to Jim Jordan over Hunter's deal...faces CHARGE INSTANTLY," reads the post's caption.
Text atop the video claims it was captured a day earlier, on Dec. 25. The video was viewed 17,000 times in a week.
Our rating: False
The video shows Jordan and Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., questioning Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen. Jordan mentions the president's son, Hunter Biden, only in passing, and no one is shown being charged with a crime. Despite the video's Dec. 25 label, the footage was captured months earlier.
