TL;DR Summary

Ohio Republican Rep Jim Jordan is criticized for evading a subpoena to testify before the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot. During a House Oversight Hearing, GOP Rep Thomas Massie suggested that Attorney General Merrick Garland could be held in contempt of Congress, to which Garland explained the separation of powers. Democratic Rep Eric Swalwell then pointed out that Jordan, who chairs the committee, has been evading his subpoena for 500 days. Swalwell accused Republicans of prioritizing loyalty to Donald Trump over the interests of the American people.
