Hillary and Tina cover current US House Representative from Ohio, Jim Jordan and former US House Representative from Louisiana William J. Jefferson.
Hillary’s Story
US House Representative Jim Jordan made headlines for his combative interrogative approach on the US House investigative committee, but when he’s asked to come clean about his knowledge in a university scandal, Jordan moves from interrogating witnesses to alleged witness tampering.
Tina’s Story
William Jefferson served nine terms as US House Rep beginning in 1991, but when the FBI raided his offices in 2006, Jefferson faced a hefty prison term.
