Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and CNN's Jake Tapper got into a contentious exchange after the lawmaker made false and misleading claims about the unfolding Ukraine drama that has led to an impeachment inquiry into President Trump
During a tense interview with Tapper on"State of The Union," the Ohio Republican attempts to give his spin on the drama, making unsubstantiated claims about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Trump tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating the Bidens, though there is no evidence of wrongdoing by either.
Tapper spars with GOP Rep. Jim Jordan on Ukraine 14:00"Was that prosecutor looking into Burisma, the company that had hired Joe Biden's son for $50,000 a month?" Jordan says."According to the Ukrainians, that investigation was dormant at the time," Tapper said, adding later:"If you want to push a law saying that the children of presidents and vice presidents should not be doing international business deals, I'm all for it.
