Ohio's @Jim_Jordan confirms to me:
“I spoke with [Trump] on Jan. 6th."
Before, during or after attack?
“I spoke with him that day, after? I think after. I don't know if I spoke with him in the morning or not. I just don't know...I don't know when those conversations happened.”
New:
Ohio Rep. @Jim_Jordan is living in two political realities right now:

2) He could be subpoenaed by the @January6thCmte
I spoke with Jordan about his current situation, and his political future.

"But why do you think people showed up at the Capitol & ultimately ended up attacking it? What do you think was motivating them that day?"
"You'd have to ask them. You'd have to ask them. What I know is the former president's not to blame."
More of my interview w/ @Jim_Jordan:
Is @Jim_Jordan a "material witness" to what happened leading up to, and on, 1/6, as @RepLizCheney suggested on @GMA?
He told me he helped plan objection strategy, but not Trump's rally.
"That was done by their political team, I think. I'm not sure who planned it, but I didn't."
