Docs Show Corporate Giants Are ‘Colluding to Demonetize Conservative Platforms,’ Judiciary Committee Says

/1 Comment/in , /by

The House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether major advertisers ran afoul of antitrust laws by coordinating about which news outlets to blackball.

The committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), obtained documents from the World Federation of Advertisers that show how it implemented a strategy to prevent major advertisers from doing business with disfavored news outlets. The coordinated effort could have the effect of bankrupting news organizations that don’t get the stamp of approval.

“The World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) through its Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) initiative may be acting inconsistent with U.S. antitrust laws and congressional intent by coordinating GARM members’ efforts to demonetize and eliminate disfavored content online,” Jordan wrote in March 27 letter demanding further documents from advertisers.

“Evidence the Committee has obtained suggests that GARM members, led by Steer Team members, are colluding to demonetize conservative platforms and voices. Further, this coordination does not always revolve around ‘brand safety’ and ‘harmful’ content as GARM publicly claims, but instead the desire to censor conservative and other views that GARM members disfavor,” Jordan added.

Jim Jordan Reveals New Whistleblower From Fani Willis’ Office (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan revealed Friday that a new whistleblower from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office has allegedly come forward.

Jordan appeared at the 2024 Conservative Political Action (CPAC) Conference in Washington D.C. to discuss further revelations since serving Willis a subpoena early February over documents related to an investigation into claims she misused federal funds.

While on stage during a Q&A, former White House Political Director Matt Schlapp asked Jordan if Willis had responded to the committee, to which Jordan said she was supposed to hand over documents, but had yet to do so.

“I’m not sure if Jimmy Kimmel understood what the title of this conversation is, ‘What you talking about Willis?’ Fani Willis. Did she get back to you today?” Schlapp asked.

“Yeah, we subpoenaed – not yet, I just talked to our staff,” Jordan said.

Jim Jordan Affirms “Four Fundamental Facts” About Bidens Amidst FBI Informant Indictment

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the midst of an indictment against Alexander Smirnov, a long-time FBI informant, for allegedly concocting a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, Republican Representative Jim Jordan emphasized that the charges do not alter the “four fundamental facts” tied to Burisma Holdings. The Ukrainian gas company had Hunter Biden on its board, and Joe Biden advocated for the removal of prosecutor Viktor Shokin during his vice presidency.

Jordan outlined the facts as follows: Hunter Biden’s unqualified placement on Burisma’s board, the executives seeking his intervention in D.C., and Joe Biden conditioning aid on the firing of the prosecutor. Despite Smirnov’s indictment and claims of contacts with Russian intelligence, Jordan contends that these revelations do not deviate from the core issues surrounding the Bidens’ involvement with Burisma. The Ohio Republican insists that Smirnov’s case is “what it is” but doesn’t alter the underlying narrative of the Bidens’ connections to the Ukrainian company.

House Republican Leader Foresees Biden Impeachment Inquiry Extending Into 2024 Election Year

/1 Comment/in , /by

A House Republican leader said on Sunday that he expects the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden to stretch into next year when Biden is up for re-election.

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo that he thinks investigators will continue to gather evidence through the end of December and come to a decision on how to proceed at the beginning of 2024.

“I believe we will get the depositions and the interviews done in this calendar year and then make a decision early next year whether … the actual evidence warrants going to articles of impeachment and moving to that stage of the investigation,” Jordan said during an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” alluding to a new wave of subpoenas and transcribed interview requests.

“But I think, this year, November, December, we will depose all these people we still need to depose, and then we can make a decision,” he added. (Read more from “House Republican Leader Foresees Biden Impeachment Inquiry Extending Into 2024 Election Year” HERE)

Jim Jordan’s Surrender Clears Path for New Candidates — Here Are the Ones We Know About

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) waved the white flag Friday in his battle to be named the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Jordan failed to win the gavel in a third round of voting Friday, with 25 members — more than in either of the earlier ballots — voting against him.

The House Judiciary Committee chairman and founding member of the Freedom Caucus struggled to win over moderates in his last bid for the speakership, winning just 194 votes from his colleagues on the House floor Friday before suspending his run hours later.

Potential replacements filled the void soon after, with Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Reps. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) and Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) throwing their hats in the ring, in hopes of being the one to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who was stripped of the speakership in an Oct. 3 vote. (Read more from “Jim Jordan’s Surrender Clears Path for New Candidates — Here Are the Ones We Know About” HERE)

House Delays Second Vote for Speaker After Jordan Comes up Short

/0 Comments/in , /by

The GOP-led House opted not to hold any more votes on Tuesday after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) failed to win the speakership in the first and only ballot of the day.

Congressional aides had reportedly said they expected a second vote in the evening, but Jordan later said the next ballot would happen at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The timing could still change.

“We are going to keep working,” Jordan told reporters after noting he had some “great discussions” with colleagues.

Two hundred Republicans voted for Jordan in the House floor vote earlier on Tuesday while 20 GOP holdouts picked other people in their party. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the nominee for the Democrats, got 212 votes. No one got a simple majority in the chamber that was needed to secure victory, leaving Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), who is serving as speaker pro tempore, to gavel the House into a recess. (Read more from “House Delays Second Vote for Speaker After Jordan Comes up Short” HERE)

Jim Jordan Wins GOP Nomination for Speaker of the House

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan won the House Republican Conference’s nomination to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Friday, after his primary competitor, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, dropped out of the race.

Jordan, who has represented Ohio’s 4th Congressional District since 2007, won a secret ballot of conference members by a vote of 124 to 81, with the remainder going to Republican Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia, who entered the race on Friday.

In a second ballot of the conference, which asked members whether they would support Jordan on the floor following his nomination, he received the support of 152 members, with 55 members voting to indicate they would not support his nomination on the floor. The House Republican Conference has a narrow majority of four seats in the chamber and will require nearly all members to vote in favor of Jordan for him to be elected speaker.

Report: Trump ‘Is Endorsing Jim Jordan’ for House Speaker

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump will back GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio in the race for House speaker, Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas said in a post on X.

“Just had a great conversation with President Trump about the Speaker’s race. He is endorsing Jim Jordan, and I believe Congress should listen to the leader of our party. I fully support Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House,” Nehls wrote.

Jordan and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) have both mounted bids to serve as House speaker. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who had been serving as speaker since early January, was ousted from the role this week and has said that he will not seek to return to the post.

Trump, who is leading the Republican presidential primary, has expressed a willingness to step in as speaker for a period of time if the House GOP fails to agree upon a candidate to fill the slot. (Read more from “Report: Trump ‘Is Endorsing Jim Jordan’ for House Speaker” HERE)

Jim Jordan Enters Race for House Speaker

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is running for speaker of the GOP-led House of Representatives.

A spokesman for the lawmaker confirmed Jordan’s plans to The Daily Wire on Wednesday, less than a day after the chamber ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the position.

In a quote reported by the Washington Examiner, Jordan said after coming out of the speaker’s office, “I’ve had a lot of people reach out to us, asking me to do it, because I think we can. We’ll see if that happens, but I think I can.”

Multiple Republicans have already voiced support for Jordan as a candidate.

“My first choice if he will run,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said in a post to X. (Read more from “Jim Jordan Enters Race for House Speaker” HERE)

Jordan Investigates Trump Special Counsel Prosecutor Over ‘Abusive’ Tactics

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced on Thursday that his panel is investigating alleged prosecutorial misconduct in special counsel Jack Smith’s documents case against former President Donald Trump and two of his aides.

A letter sent to Smith on Thursday cites media reports about allegations that Jay Bratt, a senior prosecutor involved in the special counsel’s inquiry, used “abusive” tactics. Jordan specifically raised concerns about Bratt allegedly bringing up a judgeship application in an attempt to improperly pressure a lawyer for Trump’s associate and co-defendant Walter Nauta. In addition, the chairman noted that Bratt later filed a motion alleging conflicts of interest involving the same lawyer, Stanley Woodward.

“The Department’s mission is to ensure impartial justice by upholding the rule of law, requiring all Department employees — including Mr. Bratt — to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct,” Jordan wrote. “Mr. Bratt’s attempt to bully Mr. Nauta in cooperating, first by extorting his attorney and then by alleging a conflict of interest that precludes his attorney from the case, seriously calls into question your team and your ability to remain impartial and uphold the Department’s mission.”

The chairman demanded various documents and records related to Woodward, his representation of Nauta and others, as well as his application to fill a vacancy on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. A deadline of 5 p.m. on September 21 was given. (Read more from “Jordan Investigates Trump Special Counsel Prosecutor Over ‘Abusive’ Tactics” HERE)
