Ohio state team doctor congress Jordan deposition.

A court filing shows Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan was questioned under oath about the sexual abuse of Ohio State University athletes decades ago by a team doctor. Jordan’s deposition Friday came in a federal lawsuit former student-athletes brought against the university alleging it failed to stop abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss, who died in 2005. Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach from 1986 to 1994, a tenure that overlapped with Strauss’s. Many ex-wrestlers have accused him of knowing about and ignoring the abuse. His office reiterated Jordan was unaware of Strauss’ crimes or “he would have dealt with it.”
