THE TRUMP BRAND:
Jim Jordan's name comes up during Statehouse testimony on OSU abuse victims bill (Andrew J. Tobias, 2/11/20, cleveland.com)
Adam DiSabato, a former captain of the OSU wrestling team during the late 80s and early 90s, told members of the House Civil Justice Committee that Jordan and other team officials knew about open-shower team facilities that facilitated sexual harassment and abuse of team wrestlers​, an allegation Jordan has denied.He also said Jordan called him repeatedly in July 2018, after media outlets quoted his brother, Michael DiSabato, saying Strauss' abuse was common knowledge to those surrounding the wrestling program, including Jordan."Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling... begging me to go against my brother...That's the kind of cover-up that's going on there," he said.
A non-trivial proportion of his defenders are in it for the pardons.
