It seems Rep. Jim Jordan found himself in a rather sticky situation during an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo regarding the FISA warrant related to Carter Page. Here's a summary of the incident: Summary of the Interview Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) asserted that the confidential dossier compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele was the primary reason for the FBI's surveillance of Carter Page, a former Trump campaign advisor. When pressed by Cuomo about the specifics of the FISA application, including whether he had actually read it, Jordan admitted that he hadn’t but claimed to have heard about it from someone who had. Cuomo then pointed out that the FISA warrant had been reauthorized multiple times, including once by Rod Rosenstein, who was appointed by Donald Trump as Deputy Attorney General. Key Moments
  • Jordan's Claim: "The first thing they mentioned in the application was the dossier."
  • Cuomo's Question: "How do you know it's the first thing in the application -- you read it?"
  • Jordan's Admission: "No," he said, acknowledging he hadn’t read the application.
Cuomo challenged Jordan with, "You didn't even read the application! You're trusting Trey Gowdy, who would rather resign than be a part of this!" This exchange encapsulated Jordan's lack of firsthand knowledge, raising questions about his assertions about the warrant.
