https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna889071?cid=eml_nbn_20180705&__twitter_impression=trueFrom the article, more at article
snip..."The wrestler, Shawn Dailey, said he was groped half a dozen times by Dr. Richard Strauss in the mid-1990s, when Jordan was the assistant wrestling coach. Dailey said he was too embarrassed to report the abuse directly to Jordan at the time, but he said Jordan took part in conversations where Strauss' abuse of many other team members came up."
I participated with Jimmy [Jordan] and the other wrestlers in locker-room talk about Strauss. We all did," Dailey, 43, told NBC News. "It was very common knowledge in the locker room that if you went to Dr. Strauss for anything, you would have to pull your pants down.
Dailey spoke out two days after NBC News reported that three former wrestlers who were coached by Jordan more than two decades ago accused the GOP congressman of turning a blind eye to Strauss' alleged abuse and then lying about it. Jordan denied knowing anything about the abuse and continues to do so.
Dailey corroborated the account of one of those wrestlers, Dunyasha Yetts, who told NBC News that Yetts had protested to Jordan and head coach Russ Hellickson after Strauss tried to pull down his wrestling shorts when Yetts went to see him for a thumb injury.

Meanwhile call his office every day. Maybe a couple times a day. Tell him to resign. 202 224 3121

Trump on Jim Jordan (via pool): I dont believe them at all. I believe him.
Jim Jordan is one of the most outstanding people Ive met since Ive been
in Washington. I believe him 100 percent. No question in my mind. I believe
Jim Jordan 100 percent. Hes an outstanding man.

These scandals start with one person speaking out, then more people are emboldened to come forward. I doubt Paul Ryan will step in to defend Jordan especially since Jordan and the freedom caucus have caused nothing but problems for Ryan.

He announced his resignation on December 7th. That's not instantaneous.
