In a recent interview with Joe Pags, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, tackled several pressing issues. The conversation kicked off with Jordan discussing the situation in Springfield, Ohio. The residents of Springfield are reportedly speaking out against the forced placement of illegal immigrants in their town. Jordan emphasized the frustrations felt in small towns like Springfield, saying that the federal government has long known about the immigration problem. He highlighted how over 10 million illegal immigrants have come into the U.S. under the Biden administration, creating strain in communities not equipped to handle the influx.
The conversation then shifted to the SAVE Act, a piece of legislation that Jordan advocates for, which aims to prevent non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections. According to Jordan, this bill is crucial in maintaining the integrity of elections by ensuring that only citizens participate in the voting process.
Jordan and Pags also dove into cybersecurity, with Jordan raising concerns about foreign interference in the 2024 election. He discussed allegations of Iran hacking Donald Trump’s campaign and sharing that information with other political figures, including Kamala Harris’s campaign. He believes that more questions need to be asked about how this data was leaked and whether the media or the Harris campaign had a role in sharing it.
On a critical topic, Jordan expressed his concerns about protecting Donald Trump from assassination attempts. The investigation surrounding the recent attempts on Trump’s life remains ongoing, and Jordan questioned why there appears to be a lack of urgency. He explained that just the other day, Congress passed legislation to enhance security measures for all political campaigns, which was approved in a bipartisan effort. Jordan also mentioned his frustration with the Secret Service for denying Trump additional security detail and stated that they had lied to Congress about this.
Finally, Jordan commented on the role of the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the upcoming election. He said that they are doing everything they can to prevent a repeat of the misleading information that affected the last election cycle. According to him, the stakes are high, and one of the most important issues on the ballot is free speech.
