The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, has been in contact with a whistleblower from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s office.
The whistleblower raised concerns about the mishandling of federal funds by Willis.
“There’s a whistleblower in her office who we have talked to, our, the committee staff,” Jordan said.

“The whistleblower — I think she’s like 4-foot-11 — but Fani Willis had seven police escort her out when she fired this lady, because this lady raised the concern that Ms. Willis was not spending federal funds — not following the grant, the rules of the grant and the grant dollars in the appropriate manner.”
“So she raised this concern and then Fani Willis fired her,” Jordan said. “She’s now talking with our office. And we’ll see where that goes.”
Subsequently, the committee subpoenaed Willis for documents related to the grant, but she has been uncooperative. Willis is also facing challenges related to allegations of financial misconduct and conflicts of interest in a case involving special counsel Nathan Wade.
The situation is escalating with upcoming hearings and reviews of testimonies.
“We’ll see what we get,” Jordan said. “There’s still a few hours left in today.”
“Instead of accepting service on the subpoena,” he said, “she made us send the U.S. Marshal. Even though our office had talked with her office, we’d had correspondence back and forth, she made the U.S. Marshals take the subpoena there.
“So, go figure,” Jordan concluded. “This is Fani Willis, and we all saw her, I think, her attitude on display when she took the stand a few weeks ago.”
