Jim Jordan Asks Rep. Raskin Why His Wife Unmasked Michael Flynn

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan on Wednesday, during a contentious exchange at a hearing, asked fellow committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin why his wife, a former Treasury Department official, unmasked Michael Flynn.

Raskin then yelled to Jordan, "Put your mask on."

Jordan fired back: "Mr. Raskin, you want to talk about masks? Why would the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury unmask Michael Flynn's name?".

Jordan was referring to Raskin's wife, Sarah Bloom Raskin, who was one of the Obama appointees who requested the unmasking of Flynn, who was the incoming national security adviser at the time.

"Mr. Raskin, you want to talk about masks? Why would the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury unmask Michael Flynn's name?".

The Deputy Secretary of the Treasury who unmasked Flynn was Raskin's wife, Sarah Raskinpic.

Raskin's wife's name was on a list of people released by Republicans in May who had requested the unmasking of Flynn dozens of times between the 2016 election and Trump's inauguration.
