Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio recently got involved in the fight against Fulton County DA Fani Willis. Particularly, he and the House Judiciary Committee fired off a subpoena, demanding details on her campaign’s alleged use of federal funds meant to be used to combat gang violence and members for campaign expenses. Now, a report reveals, DA Willis refused to accept the subpoena and forced the federal marshals to get involved.
As background, a whistleblower from DA Willis’s office claimed that a member of the Willis campaign used federal funds in an impermissible way, and that when DA Willis was alerted to that impermissible use of funds, the whistleblower was fired shortly thereafter. Jim Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee then subpoenaed DA Willis.
In the letter to her, Jordan wrote, “The Committee’s oversight of your office’s use of federal grant funds is particularly relevant in light of public whistleblower allegations that it has misused federal funding. According to a recent report, your office unlawfully “planned to use part of a $488,000 federal grant earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention”-to cover frivolous, unrelated expenses.” He then added, “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.”
Subpoenaing her, he wrote, “In our prior letters, we requested several categories of material relevant for our oversight. However, in response to the recently disclosed whistleblower allegations and as an accommodation, we are prioritizing the production of documents concerning your office’s receipt and use of federal funds. Accordingly, please find attached a subpoena for the requested documents and information.”
Now, the Daily Caller reports, based on the claims of an anonymous source familiar with the situation, that DA Willis refused service of the subpoena when it was emailed to her. Thus, the U.S. Marshals Service had to get involved in the situation and serve her with the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena. The source characterized that as an unnecessary expense.
In fact, the Daily Caller, which said it was able to verify that DA Willis refused email service of the subpoena, quoted the source as saying, “Why wouldn’t Fani Willis just accept service like everyone else? Making the U.S. Marshal’s Service use taxpayer money to do this is a complete waste of time and resources. But we shouldn’t be surprised when it comes to her office.”
The subpoena is just one of the issues that DA Willis is dealing with right now. She also faces allegations of profiting off of her relationship with special counsel Nathan Wade, one of the three special counsels in the case. DA Willis allegedly had a sexual relationship with Wade, one she appears to have confirmed in a court filing, and profited off of it when Wade bought tickets in her name.
Former President Donald Trump, posting about the issue on Truth Social, said, “Fani Willis, the D.A. of Fulton County, just admitted to having a sexual relationship with the Prosecutor she, in consultation with the White House and DOJ, appointed to “GET PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.” By going after the most high level person, and the Republican Nominee, she was able to get her “lover” much more money, almost a Million Dollars, than she would be able to get for the prosecution of any other person or individual. THAT MEANS THAT THIS SCAM IS TOTALLY DISCREDITED & OVER!“
