House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced on Thursday that Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading a 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his allies, could face contempt of Congress proceedings.
A letter Jordan sent to Willis demands that the prosecutor comply with document requests and a subpoena issued on February 2 following the Washington Free Beacon publishing audio of an employee telling Willis about the potential misuse of federal funds weeks before the worker was fired.
“On February 23, 2024, you responded to the Committee’s subpoena with a letter in which you smeared a former employee of yours who spoke out about your misuse of federal grant funds,” Jordan wrote in the letter.
