Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan recently provided updates on a significant development regarding the controversial Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.\u00a0 Jordan recently subpoenaed Willis, requesting documents from the prosecutor who brought charges against former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
During a discussion at CPAC 2024, Jordan was asked if he had heard back from Willis on the request for documents.\u00a0 However, the House Judiciary chairman noted that a former staff member from within the Fulton County DA\u2019s office was in communications with Jordan\u2019s committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, we haven\u2019t heard back from her yet. We\u2019ll see what we get, but there\u2019s a whistleblower in her office who we have talked to our committee staff.\u00a0 And she the whistleblower I think she\u2019s like four foot eleven. But Fani Willis had seven police like escort her out when when she fired this lady, because this lady raised the concern that Miss Willis was not spending federal funds in the, not following the grant the rules of the grant and the grant dollars in the appropriate manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Jordan continued detailing how Willis allegedly fired the whistleblower for raising concerns about financial impropriety.\u00a0 The representative also explained Willis\u2019 seeming refusal to cooperate with the subpoena, forcing Jordan\u2019s office to send the US Marshals on his behalf.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo she raised this concern and Fani Willis fired her. She\u2019s now talking with our office, and we\u2019ll see where that goes. And that\u2019s why we we subpoenaed for records and documents related to this. We\u2019ll see what we get. There\u2019s still a few hours left in today. She also was interesting. She instead of accepting service on the subpoena, she made us send the US Marshals even though our office had talked with her office, we\u2019ve had correspondence back and forth. She made the US Marshals take the subpoena there. So go figure this is Fani Willis,\u201d Jordan continued.<\/p>\n
In a letter addressed to Fani Willis earlier this month, Jordan expressed concerns about the illegal use of taxpayer funds in the DA\u2019s office, citing reports from the whistleblower.\u00a0 \u201cThese allegations raise serious concerns about whether you were appropriately supervising the expenditure of federal grant funding allocated to your office and whether you took actions to conceal your office\u2019s unlawful use of federal funds,\u201d Jordan\u00a0wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, Willis has claimed the accusations are \u201cfalse\u201d and \u201cbaseless,\u201d discrediting the whistleblower\u2019s allegations.\u00a0 \u201cThe courts that have ruled found no merit in these claims,\u201d according to Willis. \u201cWe expect the same result in any pending litigation. Any examination of the records of our grant programs will find that they are highly effective and conducted in cooperation with the Department of Justice and in compliance with all Department of Justice requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n
