Jordan is demanding that Willis supply office documents following claims that the district attorney fired a whistleblower, NBC News reports.
That whistleblower allegedly
attempted to stop the misuse of
federal funds by a top campaign aide.
The subpoena is part of a larger probe by
Jordan and House GOP members seeking to determine whether federal funds were used for
her over two-year investigation into Trump.
Last year, Trump was charged
with attempting to overturn 2020
presidential election results in Georgia.
He has pleaded not guilty.
According to Jordan, Willis has ignored
two requests for the documents “referring or relating to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office’s receipt and use of federal funds.”.

Instead of using these federal grant
funds for the intended purpose of
helping at-risk youths, your office sought
to use the grant funds to ‘get Macbooks ...
swag ... [and] use it for travel, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, via NBC News.
Moreover, the whistleblower’s direct
supervisor stated that these planned
expenditures ‘were part of [your] vision.’, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, via NBC News.
These 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’s unlawful use of federal funds, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, via NBC News.
Last year, Willis' office wrote Jordan a letter, saying there is “no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter.”.
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, Fani Willis, via NBC News
