Fani Willis Subpoenaed by House GOP for Allegedly Firing Whistleblower

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed Fani Willis on Friday, demanding the Fulton County District Attorney’s office send over documents amid allegations she misused federal funds.

The subpoena, obtained by The Daily Beast, is the latest in a broader investigation by the Ohio Republican into whether the DA misused the funds during her criminal investigation into election interference by Donald Trump. It also comes after allegations that Willis fired a whistleblower who tried to stop a campaign aide from misusing the federal grant funds intended to combat juvenile gang violence in the county.

“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 Grand Prevention’—to cover frivolous, unrelated expenses,” Jordan wrote in a Friday letter. “According to reporting about the whistleblower’s allegations, 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.’”
