In reply to the discussion: "Jim Jordan 'bout to go through some things. 🤨" [View all]ancianita
(40,720 posts)22. Nowhere in this link is Jim Jordan's name listed, or any other "university officials." We
don't really know that Jordan is named in court documents; the tweeter says he is but gives no court document to confirm it.
This link names Jordan, but it doesn't provide a link to court documents that name him.

OFFICIAL: Jim Jordan, ex-assistant wrestling coach from 1987 to 1995 and now a Republican U.S. congressman running for House speaker
Allegation: Several ex-wrestlers say he knew about Strauss' abuse when he was an assistant coach at Ohio State, as well as the lewd behavior in Larkins Hall.
Response: Jordan has repeatedly denied knowing of any abuse and said he would have reported it if he'd heard of it. "Conversations in a locker room are a lot different than people coming up and talking about abuse," Jordan told Fox News on July 6.

I've looked for the court documents that name university officials but can't find them, only reports on the suit, like the one linked here.

I get that. So when we see the court docs with his name listed, we'll know he WILL be testifying.

Or they can't get proof that he helped in the coverup and so they can't name him.
