TL;DR Summary

Four former Ohio State University wrestlers who have accused Rep. Jim Jordan of failing to protect them from a sexual predator when he was their assistant coach in the 1980s and '90s have criticized his bid to become the next House speaker. They argue that Jordan's failure to stand up for them disqualifies him from the position. The allegations add a new dimension to the speaker race and could continue to haunt Jordan, even if he becomes speaker, as he may be deposed in one of the ongoing lawsuits against the university. Jordan has repeatedly denied any knowledge of the sexual abuse by the team doctor, Richard Strauss.
