The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee escalated its probe of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Tuesday with a request for documents linking her office’s investigation of Donald Trump to the congressional investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan’s demand is one of a series of requests he’s made as part of an effort to scrutinize Willis’ handling of the election-interference case against Trump and 14 other remaining defendants as he suggests she’s attempting to interfere with the 2024 vote.
Via press release from Jordan’s committee:
Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) launched an inquiry into the collusion between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the partisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol (“January 6 Select Committee”), chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), after recently learning that Willis’s office coordinated its investigative actions with the partisan Select Committee.
This new information raises additional questions relevant to the Committee’s oversight of Willis’s politically motivated prosecution of a former President of the United States and several former senior federal officials. The partisan January 6 Select Committee had a troubling track record of procedural abuses and due process violations.
It only solicited evidence from a select set of relevant individuals, ignored exculpatory evidence, and did not pursue witnesses with evidence that would not advance its partisan narrative. It fabricated and publicly released doctored evidence.
It cherrypicked selective information to create false and misleading public narratives. To the extent that Willis’s politically motivated prosecutions are now relying in any way on records obtained from the partisan January 6 Select Committee, it only reinforces concerns about her and Chairman Thompson’s commitment to due process and whether they have fulfilled their obligations to properly disclose this material.
