ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he did not believe allegations by several former wrestlers at Ohio State University coached by Republican Representative Jim Jordan that he was aware the team doctor was molesting them.

“Jim Jordan is one of the most outstanding people I’ve met since I’ve been in Washington. I believe him 100 percent,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling to Montana.

The allegations were reported on Tuesday by NBC News, which said Jordan was the assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State from 1986 to 1994.

Jordan, whose name has been floated as a possible successor to retiring House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, has said since Ohio State announced in April that it was investigating former team doctor Richard Strauss that he was previously unaware of the molestation allegations.

big surprise, tell me it ain't true I'm mortified....

3. Always does

Same as he did with Roy Moore ...."he says he didn't do it" because he doesn't want anyone to believe that HE HIMSELF abused other people, despite multiple victims (including his ex-wife) statements. I hate him.

Poor track record, in the truthfullness department.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. He believed Roy Moore too.

[forgotmylogin]

14. It's a reflex with him - in his mind groups always conspire to lie about sexual abuse.

He identifies with the accused and sympathizes because he loves groping women.
