Anyone surprised, I'm not. This is one of the front-runners for the Speaker slot for retiring Paul Ryan. This stuff seems to follow him around. Birds of a feather and all. Bet Deputy AG is snickering.
In April, Ohio State University officials announced it was opening an investigation into "allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently come forward regarding a former wrestling team physician, Dr. Richard Strauss."
"Three former wrestlers told NBC News that it was common knowledge that Strauss showered regularly with the students and inappropriately touched them during appointments, and said it would have been impossible for Jordan to be unaware; one wrestler said he told Jordan directly about the abuse."
One former wrestler, Mike DiSabato, is quoted as calling Jordan a liar for saying he did not know of the abuse allegations.
I considered Jim Jordan a friend, DiSabato told NBC. But at the end of the day, he is absolutely lying if he says he doesnt know what was going on.
This is not the first time questions have been raised about Jordan's knowledge of improper sexual behavior. Last year, the Washington Post reported that then-state Rep. Wes Goodman, a one-time aide to Jordan, allegedly fondled an 18-year-old college student at a conservative group's event in Washington.
Goodman later resigned from the state Legislature, after he was accused of "inappropriate behavior" in his office with a man. Goodman worked as an aide to Jordan for several years before running for office himself.
