Jordan not ruling out Speaker's bid amid allegations

Rep. Jim Jordan said he is still contemplating a bid for Speaker if the GOP keeps its majority, even as the Ohio Republican battles allegations that he ignored accusations of sexual abuse on the Ohio State University wrestling team while he was a coach there.

"If and when there's a Speaker's race, I plan on being a part of the discussion," Jordan, flanked by several members of the Freedom Caucus, told The Hill on Tuesday evening after House votes.

As he hustled through the Capitol tunnels with his jacket thrown over his shoulder, Jordan continued to adamantly deny that he had any knowledge that his wrestlers were allegedly being abused by a team doctor decades ago, and said he wants to see justice served if there were any victims.
