Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, warned Wednesday that Democrats will pursue a third impeachment of President Donald Trump and launch investigations across multiple congressional committees after taking control of the House in January.

Speaking on Fox News' "Hannity," Jordan said he expects Democrats to use their incoming majority to investigate the Trump administration and target members of the president's Cabinet.

"It'll be every committee," Jordan said when asked about the possibility of congressional investigations. "There'll be a third impeachment. They can't help themselves."

Jordan currently chairs the House Judiciary Committee but will relinquish the position when Democrats take control. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the committee's current ranking Democrat, is expected to become chairman. The Judiciary Committee traditionally plays a central role in presidential impeachment proceedings by overseeing investigations and considering articles of impeachment.

Jordan was elected to lead House Republicans in the next Congress on Nov. 10, defeating House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., by a vote of 106-73. He will assume the leadership position as Republicans move into the minority following the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is expected to lead the incoming Democratic majority, although he must still secure election as speaker by the full House. Jeffries previously said in September that he had not ruled out impeaching Trump or members of his Cabinet if Democrats regained control. After the election, however, he said no House Democrats had raised the prospect of impeaching the president.

Trump was impeached twice by the House during his first term, once in 2019 over his dealings with Ukraine and again in 2021 following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The Senate acquitted him in both proceedings. The House can approve articles of impeachment with a simple majority, while conviction and removal from office require a two-thirds vote in the Senate.

Jordan also predicted Democrats would investigate other prominent Republicans, including War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He additionally questioned whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin could face scrutiny because of their potential political futures.

House Democrats introduced six articles of impeachment against Hegseth in April. Jordan argued that Democrats could target administration officials and other Republicans they view as political opponents.

The Ohio Republican also pointed to Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, who is expected to become its chairman in January. Garcia wrote in a Nov. 6 post on X that Democrats were prepared to investigate what he called the "crooks, the con men, and the Trump crime family," adding, "Lawyer up."

Jordan said the Justice Department had responded with a letter warning that congressional investigations must serve a legislative purpose and cannot be used to politically harass individuals. He argued that Democrats had not identified a legitimate legislative basis for their planned scrutiny.

Jordan said House Republicans would challenge the investigations and make their case directly to the public, predicting that Democratic oversight efforts would extend across the incoming majority's committees.
