Story by Carl Gibson

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who chairs the powerful House Judiciary Committee, will soon be questioned under oath in a sworn deposition, according to a new report.

According to Columbus, Ohio-based NBC affiliate WCMH, Jordan will be questioned specifically about what he knew regarding former Ohio State University wrestling team doctor Richard Strauss' sexual abuse of student athletes. WCMH reported Wednesday that Jordan will be deposed this coming Friday in Washington D.C. as part of civil lawsuits former Ohio State wrestlers filed against the school.
