On Thursday, the Speaker of the House Republican Caucus announced that he had spoken with an insider at Fani Willis’s office, who stated she was prepared to disclose the allegations made by the woman that the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, misused federal funds to pursue former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the judiciary committee, appeared on Fox Business on Thursday. He informed host Maria Bartiromo that a woman had come forward to provide information about the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Willis’ management of anti-gang funds and whether or not they were improperly diverted to support a trial that was purportedly motivated by politics.
Jordan made his comments the day after the Justice Department found “inconsistencies” in the Georgia prosecutor’s filings to the federal government about how their monies were used.
Jordan reportedly said of the now-former employee, “God bless the whistleblower [who] came forward,” according to Newsweek. “We’ve spoken with the whistleblower; she’s providing us and the media with information. The Department of Justice is now investigating this. There are numerous issues with Fani Willis and her absurd inquiry of President Trump and other people.
Jordan and the Republican-dominated House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Willis’s office earlier this year to get records pertaining to the procurement and use of federal funding by her office. Republicans have questioned Willis after she was involved in an alleged election interference against Trump and 18 co-defendants.
Allegations have been made against the projected Republican presidential nominee that they plotted to thwart Georgia’s election victory for Joe Biden in 2020. Trump has continuously maintained that the investigation is politically motivated and has pleaded not guilty to all of the accusations.
Jordan wrote to Willis last month, requesting more information from her office by March 23. “While you have indicated that additional documents may be forthcoming in response to the Committee’s subpoena, the Committee has yet to receive any additional responsive materials in the three weeks since your initial response,” Jordan wrote.
A Justice Department spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon this week that “we have noticed some inconsistencies in what Fulton County has reported to [the Federal Subaward Reporting System] and we are working with them to update their reporting accordingly” during the DOJ’s review of the investigation into Willis’s office’s use of federal funds.
A co-defendant in Willis’ election meddling case said earlier this week that he was getting ready to file a lawsuit against her for an alleged incident involving his Maryland attorney.
Harrison Floyd reportedly claims that Willis’ staff secretly taped a phone call with his attorney on a separate criminal matter in Maryland.
