On May 2, 2014, Jordan introduced [[H.Res. 565 (113th Congress)|House Resolution 565]], "Calling on Attorney General [[Eric H.

On June 13, 2018, Jordan and Representative [[Mark Meadows]] filed a resolution to compel the Department of Justice to provide certain documents to Congress relating to the ongoing congressional investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The resolution asserted that the DOJ was stonewalling congressional oversight and sought to give the DOJ seven days from its enactment to turn over documents related to both Deputy Attorney General [[Rod Rosenstein]]'s appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller as well as various decisions made by the FBI during the 2016 presidential election. Jordan issued a press release that stated: <blockquote>This resolution gives the DOJ seven days to turn over the documents that they owe Congress. Rod Rosenstein threatened congressional staff. When the bully picks on your little brother, you have to respond. It's time for House Leadership to stand up and pass this resolution.<ref>{{Cite press release |date=2018-06-13 |title=Congressmen Jordan and Meadows File Resolution Telling Department of Justice to Turn Over Documents |url=https://jordan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398154 |access-date=2019-11-18 |website=jordan.house.gov |archive-date=November 16, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191116021256/https://jordan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398154 |url-status=live }}</ref></blockquote>

On July 25, 2018, Jordan and Meadows introduced articles of impeachment against Rosenstein, whom they accused of "intentionally withholding embarrassing documents and information, knowingly hiding material investigative information from Congress, various abuses of the [[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act|FISA]] process, and failure to comply with congressional subpoenas". Jordan stated that impeachment was necessary because: <blockquote>The DOJ is keeping information from Congress. Enough is enough.

====Speaker elections====
Despite his support for [[Kevin McCarthy]] in the [[January 2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election|2023 Speaker of the House of Representatives election]], including nominating McCarthy on the second ballot, Jordan was nominated on the second ballot by Representative [[Matt Gaetz]].

He received four votes, enough to necessitate a 13th ballot when combined with the three for [[Kevin Hern]]. He was not nominated on the 13th or 14th ballot, but received six and two votes on each, respectively.

===Disinformation research===
As chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan is heading a legal campaign against researchers at universities, think tanks and private companies that study [[Disinformation attack|disinformation]]. Those affected include the [[Stanford Internet Observatory]] at [[Stanford University]], the [[University of Washington]], the [[Atlantic Council]]'s ''Digital Forensic Research Lab'' and the social media analytics firm ''Graphika''.
Since January 2023, when Republicans gained a majority in the House, the House Judiciary Committee has sent letters, subpoenas, and threats of legal action to researchers, demanding notes, emails and other records from researchers and even student interns, dating back to 2015.

Projects affected include the ''Election Integrity Partnership'', formed to identify attempts "to suppress voting, reduce participation, confuse voters or delegitimize election results without evidence"<ref name="Myers" /> and the ''Virality Project'', which has examined the spread of false claims about vaccines. Jordan claims that such organizations worked with the government to censor conservative speech online. Although research groups may have reported problematic content, "no evidence has emerged that government officials coerced the companies to take action against accounts".<ref name="Myers" /> Researchers argue that they have [[academic freedom]] to study social media and disinformation as well as [[freedom of speech]] to report their results.<ref name="Myers" /><ref name="Starks">{{cite news |last1=Starks |first1=Tim |title=Analysis {{!}} GOP legal attacks create a chilling effect on misinformation research |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/25/gop-legal-attacks-create-chilling-effect-misinformation-research/ |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=September 25, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first1=Naomi |last1=Nix |first2=Cat |last2=Zakrzewski |first3=Joseph |last3=Menn |title=Misinformation research is buckling under GOP legal attacks |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/23/online-misinformation-jim-jordan/ |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=September 23, 2023 |language=en}}</ref>
