Fasten your seatbelts because we’re diving into another whirlwind of political drama. This time the spotlight is on Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Let’s just say things are getting a little heated.
Jordan, in his characteristic no-nonsense style, has issued a stark warning to DA Willis. He’s threatening legal action over her alleged failure to fully comply with a subpoena connected to an investigation into the misuse of federal grant funds.
The subpoena, which was served up hot and fresh on February 2, commanded Willis to produce documents related to two specific areas. First, any documents and communications referring to the Fulton County District Attorney’s office’s receipt and use of federal funds. And second, any documents and communications concerning allegations of misuse of these funds. Sounds simple enough, right?
But here’s where it gets juicy. Willis’ office responded to the subpoena, but according to Jordan, they conveniently left out some key documents about a former employee’s allegations of misuse of federal grant money by another ex-employee. How’s that for a plot twist?
In a letter to Willis, Jordan didn’t mince words. He accused Willis’ office of inadequate transparency and cooperation. “The allegations in the public realm about your misuse of federal grant funding are concerning, and the Committee has an obligation to examine them,” he wrote.

The allegations center around a former employee who claimed she was fired by Willis shortly after voicing concerns about a campaign aide for Willis, who then became a county employee, intending to divert federal grants for purposes other than those of a youth violence and gang prevention program.
According to our main man Jordan, this brave whistleblower was shown the door after she raised concerns about Willis’ decision to redirect funds for a youth gang diversion program to cover costs related to her Trump investigation. Talk about a scandal!
In a final warning, Jordan stressed the urgency and seriousness of the committee’s request, setting a new deadline for compliance. He stated, “If you fail to do so, the Committee will consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings.”
