According to a letter he submitted Wednesday to the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack, Republican congressman Jim Jordan said he would consider complying with the panel's subpoena provided they shared the data that put him under investigation.
Jordan's response, which came after he met with Donald Trump on January 6, stopped short of a rejection to comply with his subpoena, though it was unclear how he would move if the panel denied his request.Jordan wanted all resources they intend to use in questioning, materials in which he is cited, and legal assessments about subpoenaing members of Congress in a six-page letter written to the select committee and acquired by the Guardian.
"I humbly request the following material so that I may adequately further reply to your subpoena," Jordan wrote, "since your subpoena is an unprecedented use of a committee's coercive authority against another member."
