Jordan threatens Fani Willis with contempt over subpoena on federal grants
The Hill ^ | March 14, 2024 | Rebecca Beitsch

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) threatened possible contempt proceedings against Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) over a subpoena requesting information about her use of federal funds.

Willis’s office has already sent information in response to the February subpoena, but the GOP leader complains she failed to turn over documents related to allegations from a now-terminated employee who flagged another former employee’s desire to misuse federal grant money.

“We appreciate that you have produced a narrow set of documents in response to the subpoena, but your compliance with the subpoena to date is deficient,” Jordan wrote in the letter.

“If you fail to do so, the Committee will consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings.”

The allegations center on a former employee to Willis who said the district attorney fired her shortly after she raised concerns about how a Willis campaign aide-turned county employee hoped to use federal grants for items outside the scope of a youth violence and gang prevention program.

It’s not clear that the federal funds in question were ultimately spent inappropriately...

Fani Willis fired worker who exposed alleged $500K federal grant abuse

By Social Links for Josh Christenson, Jan. 31, 2024, nypost.com

Fulton County DA Fani Willis, who is under investigation for allegedly spending taxpayer funds on lavish trips with an attorney she hired while the two were having an affair, is being called out by a former employee for apparently abusing another federal grant.

Willis — who is prosecuting Donald Trump for allegedly trying to illegally overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results — was confronted by staffer Amanda Timpson in a Nov. 19, 2021, meeting after the DA Willis’ former campaign social media manager Michael Cuffee planned to use part of a nearly $500,000 federal grant for travel, computers and “swag,” according to audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Jim Jordan is this years carnival barker. Over-promising and under-delivering like a run-of-the mill politician. He’s just picking up where Darrel Issa left off.

McCarthy was blocking anything Jordan wanted to do.
Its only recently that things have begun to change in the House.
