Ohio Representative Jim Jordan indicated on Sunday night that he won’t voluntarily testify to the House Committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, writing the inquiry isn’t “fair-minded and objective.”

The committee’s Dec. 22 request that he appear “is far outside the bounds of any legitimate inquiry, violates core Constitutional principles, and would serve to further erode legislative norms,” Jordan wrote in a letter to committee chairman, Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat.
