“Retired Ohio State wrestling coach Russ Hellickson reached out to two ex-team members and asked them to support their former assistant coach, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) a day after they accused the powerful congressman of turning a blind eye to alleged sexual abuse by the team doctor,” according to the wrestlers and text messages they shared with NBC News.
“The former wrestlers said their ex-coach made it clear to them he was under pressure from Jordan to get statements of support from members of the team.”
