On Thursday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan penned a letter to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, demanding that she come clean regarding alleged coordination with Biden's DOJ in her decision to indict Donald Trump.
Jordan raised a number of questions related to the timing and motivation of indicting a former president and top Republican candidate just months before a federal election.
"Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated," Jordan wrote.
He highlighted the fact that Willis had launched a campaign fundraising website just days before the indictment highlighting her investigation into Trump, and that she had been barred from targeting Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones on the grounds that she held fundraising events for his opponent.
The congressman also pointed out that the timing of the indictment and Willis' desire to begin the trial on the day before "Super Tuesday" made it "unsurprising many have speculated that this indictment and prosecution are designed to interfere with the 2024 presidential election."
"This indictment and prosecution implicate several significant federal interests," Jordan continued, deeming it "an attempt to use state criminal law to regulate the conduct of federal officers acting in their official capacities."
He warned that it "raises serious concerns under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution and poses a threat to the operations of the federal government," suggesting "the threat of future state prosecution for official acts may dissuade federal officers from effectively performing their official duties and responsibilities."
Jordan went on to question whether Willis had coordinated with Biden's DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith during the course of the investigation, noting the Committee may dig into the matter.
He requested that Willis provide all documents and communications related to the Fulton County DA's office's receipt and use of federal funds, as well as those between the office and any member of the DOJ or the Executive Branch.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
