Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis sent a scathing response to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday, arguing that he was interfering with her prosecution of former President Donald Trump through his records requests.
She made a number of points similar to those Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had made to Jordan in March about his prosecution of Trump, saying Jordan was abusing his congressional power by inquiring about Georgia criminal matters.
Jordan said there are several points of federal interest in the case, including how it relates to the Constitution's Supremacy Clause; how it affects Trump, who has federal benefits because of his presidency, such as Secret Service; how it affects and will potentially interfere with the 2024 presidential election, in which Trump is the 2024 GOP front-runner; how Willis's office has used federal funds; and how she may have coordinated with special counsel Jack Smith.
