The Facts
Jim Jordan is a staunch Trump ally, claiming that authorities have been
"out to get [Trump] after he left the White House."
Jordan has previously suggested that
Republicans could impeach Attorney General
Merrick Garland, if the GOP gains a majority in
Congress; Garland confirmed earlier this month that he
personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago.
However, the clip of Jordan shared on social media misleadingly implies that he was speaking about communications received from
FBI whistleblowers after the Mar-a-Lago raid.

A clip of Ohio Rep Jim Jordan was shared in which he appeared to claim that more than a dozen FBI agents had contacted him about the Mar-a-Lago search.

Many are also pushing for proof of the matter.
"If Jim Jordan really has 14 FBI whistleblowers, he can make the paperwork they are required to file public,"
one Twitter user said. "If he cannot do that, well, he doesn't have 14 FBI whistleblowers."
Some approached the topic with similar skepticism but showed a level of trust in Jordan's claim.
One user wrote, "If Jim Jordan has 14 FBI whistleblowers going to his office, many more are probably going to other places as well. Hopefully, the Democrat Party's activities at the FBI will be exposed and people will be held accountable."
The majority, however, questioned Jordan's legitimacy.
"Why would these alleged or phantom 14 FBI whistleblowers even WANT to go to Jim Jordan to report anything?" a Twitter user wrote.
