Fact check: Jim Jordan makes false claims about Trump, Hunter Biden to begin hearing

THIS IS PART OF LARGER ARTICLE FROM CNN TALK ABOUT LIARS!!

Criticizing the FBI search of Trump’s home in Florida in August 2022, Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, falsely claimed in his opening statement at Wednesday’s hearing that Trump did everything the Justice Department had asked him to do prior to the search.


Among other acts of compliance, Jordan said, Trump immediately turned over 38 documents he discovered prior to the search, then complied with a Justice Department request to further secure the storage room where official documents were being stored.

“Everything they asked him to do, he did. And then what’s the Justice Department do? August 8, last year, they raid President Trump’s home,” Jordan said.

Facts First: Jordan’s claim that Trump did “everything” the Justice Department asked him to do is incorrect. When the Justice Department obtained a May 2022 grand jury subpoena demanding that Trump turn over all documents with classification markings, Trump did not do so.

YOU REALLY NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE TO SEE HOW MUCH LYING THESE GOP BASTARDS ARE UP TO
