The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Atlanta-area District Attorney Fani Willis on Friday, over allegations Willis’ office planned to misuse federal funds and fired a whistleblower—as the Fulton County prosecutor faces scrutiny after bringing racketeering charges against former President Donald Trump.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee.
Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) issued the subpoena demanding documents from Willis’ office, citing a whistleblower allegation that Willis’ office “planned to use” a nearly $500,000 federal grant earmarked for a youth empowerment and gang prevention program to instead “cover frivolous, unrelated expenses.”
The allegations are unrelated to Willis’ criminal case against Trump, which accuses the former president of illegally trying to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
