A newspaper from Representative Jim Jordan's home state shared some New Year's advice for the congressman in an editorial published on Sunday.
The editorial board of Cleveland.com, which produces content for The Plain Dealer, Ohio's largest newspaper by circulation, rebuked Jordan, an Ohio Republican, in an opinion piece titled, "New Year's resolutions for our elected officials." In a list, the newspaper critiqued both Democrats and Republicans in local, state, and federal government.
"No more unnecessary House Judiciary 'investigations.' Focus on actual governing instead," the newspaper wrote of Jordan.
Newsweek reached out to Jordan's office via email for comment.
Jordan is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The congressman is also a member of the House Oversight Committee.
On the Judiciary Committee, Jordan has taken aim at President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. The committee has investigated how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Big Tech like X, formerly Twitter, allegedly coordinated to censor free speech about Hunter's foreign business dealings and his laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
In October 2020, a laptop that supposedly belonged to Hunter Biden became the center of controversy after the New York Post published a front-page story alleging that emails it reportedly obtained from the laptop showed corruption by Joe Biden. However, an investigation by Senate Republicans did not find any wrongdoing by the president.
Jordan's House Judiciary Committee also investigated the probe into Russia's alleged election interference during Donald Trump's successful 2016 presidential run.
In June, Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel John Durham testified before the committee. Durham released a 300-plus-page report in May that looked into the FBI's investigation of a potential link between Trump's campaign and Russian officials in the 2016 election. The report concluded that the FBI acted too hastily in launching the investigation and relied on "raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence."
During his testimony, Durham said his report's "findings were sobering." Durham was appointed to lead the inquiry in October 2019 after Trump pressured former Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's probe.
A separate DOJ investigation "did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities," according to a report by special counsel Robert Mueller released in 2019. Mueller was appointed in May 2017 by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to investigate Russian election interference and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.
The Judiciary Committee has also focused on what it sees as a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, with the surge of migrants illegally crossing the border. In July, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before the committee where he insisted "the border is not open."
Jordan's Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was formed in January to investigate how the executive branch agencies "collect, compile, analyze, use, or disseminate information about citizens of the United States, including any unconstitutional, illegal, or unethical activities committed against citizens of the United States," according to the resolution creating the subcommittee.
The subcommittee had a hearing in late November focusing on the federal government's alleged involvement in social media censorship.
Sitting on the House Oversight Committee, Jordan has helped in Joe Biden's impeachment inquiry. The committee claims that the president was involved in and benefited from Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings—an accusation that the White House has repeatedly denied.
