House GOP Issues Subpoena for Trump Prosecutor Fani Willis

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is using his subpoena power to demand that Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis — one of three prosecutors to criminally indict former President Donald Trump — provide documents to his committee.

The subpoena pertains to Jordan’s investigation into whether Willis used federal funds to conduct her own investigation into Trump, and whether she fired a whistleblower in her office for attempting to stop Willis’s office from misappropriating funds that were meant to be put toward a young gang prevention initiative.

According to the subpoena, Jordan has “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.”

“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,'” asserted Jordan.

Willis’s case against Trump — which relates to Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia — has been put under a microscope in recent days by allegations that she appointed Nathan Wade, a lawyer she was having an affair with, to the Trump case.

Willis is accused of paying out $654,000 to Wade for his work on the the case through the DA’s office.

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig argued in a recent op-ed that Wade is “conspicuously underqualified” for the case and lambasted Willis for her handling of the accusations, submitting that she has made her situation “worse still.”

“If the district attorney wields the power of her office to do favors for her friends, to enrich herself, and to undermine the constitutional rights of her charged defendants, then she has earned the consequences,” he continued.

The situation is expected to be addressed in court later this month.
