Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) chair of the House Judiciary Committee and leader of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday that the Dept. of Justice (DOJ) under President Trump is “doing its job.”

Bash began the interview by asking Jordan whether his subcommittee on the weaponization of government would be looking into the indictment of two out of three people named in a Truth social media post from Trump from 3 weeks ago.

Bash was referring to the recent indictments of former FBI Director James Comey for lying to Congress and New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud, with the possibility of an impending indictment for former national security advisor John Bolton over the unauthorized possession of classified materials.

Jordan pushed back, explaining that a federal judge had agreed that probable cause existed to search Bolton’s home and that two grand juries had heard sufficient evidence to indict Comey and James.

Jordan brushed away concerns that the DOJ was simply responding to pressure from President Trump, telling CNN, “So this is our Justice Department under the leadership of the attorney general applying the facts to the law, like you are supposed to, not the weaponization of government like we saw under Biden, like we saw under Merrick Garland, like we saw with Chris Wray. So this is, I think, a completely different situation.”

Bash asked Jordan whether or not he believed “that the Justice Department is acting independently from the president” or if it was “under pressure from the president.”

Jordan responded, “I think they are doing their job. I mean, I know the kind of information they‘re giving to Congress, information we did not get under the previous FBI director or from the previous attorney general.”

Bash pushed back against Jordan, asking the Judiciary Committee Chairman,  “You’re comfortable with that, given the fact that you were very upset about what you called weaponization, so much that you have a whole new subcommittee on it?”

Jordan explained that the president speaking his mind was entirely appropriate and adding, “What I know this Justice Department is doing is the good work that they’re supposed to do, looking at the law, looking at the facts, looking at each individual case, and moving forward, I think, in an appropriate fashion.”
