Jordan joins a rising movement of Republicans calling to oust Cheney as the third-ranking Republican in the House for calling for President Donald Trump to be impeached.
“There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution,” Cheney said in her statement when she announced her support for impeachment.
