The Jan. 6 Select Committee on Tuesday dismissed [Jordan's] list of demands as it issued a stern warning to comply with its subpoena by the end of next week.... In a letter dated Tuesday, committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) rejected Jordan’s “misplaced” rationale for blowing past the deadline. In response to Jordan questioning the committee’s validity, Thompson wrote that the nine-person committee is “duly constituted and empowered” by three U.S. District Court decisions.  https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/jan-6-committee-tells-jim-jordan-didnt-want-hear-rcna31587?cid=eml_mda_20220603&user_email=c0a1700cf9556c2a337549e763d083d317ba6a6555e246a5d57ec2c12b74b5a2

Jordan was originally told to comply with the congressional subpoena by May 27. That deadline, obviously, has come and gone. Now, instead of providing the Ohioan with the materials he sought, the committee gave him something else: an extension.

Jordan now has until June 11 to honor the legal summons.

Cooperating with the investigation, the committee added, could give Jordan an opportunity to “resolve, on the record, inconsistencies in your public statements about the events of January 6.”
