Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan said he would refuse Democrats’ request for cooperation with the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 in a letter to Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., Sunday.

In December, the House panel to which Jordan’s minority appointment was barred by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded the prominent Freedom Caucus member answer questions over his decision to oppose certification of the 2020 election results.

Democrats’ request, Jordan wrote, “amounts to an unprecedented and inappropriate demand to examine the basis for a colleague’s decision on a particular matter pending before the House of Representatives.”
