Former Obama administration ethics czar Norm Eisen has filed a request with the Office of Congressional Ethics for the House Ethics Committee to launch an inquiry into Rep. Jim Jordan.

Eisen, who is chairman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, and Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, sent a letter to OCE on Monday asking it to investigate if Jordan is lying about whether he knew about sexual abuse while he was an assistant wrestling coach at The Ohio State University.

“If this were a ‘he said, he said’ matter, that would be one thing. But with seven witnesses already stepping forward and perhaps more in the wings, an Office of Congressional Ethics investigation is needed,” Eisen told The Washington Post.

The letter sent Monday said Jordan could be in violation of a clause in the House Rules if he were lying, since it would fail to “reflect creditably on the House.” If the office determined that to be the case, “OCE should recommend that the House Ethics Committee further review this matter.”

The letter does not mean Jordan is currently under inquiry, only that one has been requested. OCE would make a recommendation to the Ethics Committee if it determines there is cause for an investigation.
