GOP’s Jim Jordan could face a subpoena as part of Ohio State sexual abuse probe

Long before Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio was a far-right Republican congressman, he was an assistant wrestling coach. And Tavia Galonski, a Democrat who serves in Ohio’s state government, is recommending that Jordan be subpoenaed as part of a sexual abuse probe of someone Jordan once worked with.

Strauss committed suicide in 2005, and men who were on the team have come forward with allegations that he sexually abused them.

Galonski, who serves in the Ohio House of Representatives, wants to subpoena Jordan in order to shed some light on the allegations against Strauss.
