Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Newsmax on Tuesday that the committee’s decision to refer former CIA Director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution stemmed from “clear evidence” that Brennan lied to Congress about his role in advancing the discredited Russia collusion narrative.

“You’re not supposed to lie, but you’re definitely not supposed to lie when you’re under oath talking to the United States Congress,” Jordan said. “He told the committee, ‘I was not involved with the dossier at all,’ but when ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard declassified the House Intelligence Committee report, it showed he did want the dossier referenced in the intelligence community assessment.”
