CPAC: Jim Jordan reveals whistleblower in Fani Willis' office aiding in alleged misuse of federal funds investigation

Addressing the crowd at CPAC on Friday afternoon, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan revealed that the committee has spoken to a whistleblower who was allegedly fired from Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ office after raising concerns over the misuse of federal funds.

"There’s a whistleblower in her [Willis’] office who we have talked to, our committee staff," Jordan said. The whistleblower is Amanda Timpson, who was fired from Willis’ office in early 2022.

"The whistleblower, I think she’s like four foot 11, but Fani Willis had seven police like escorted her out when she fired this lady, because this lady raised the concern that Ms Willis was not" spending federal funds in an appropriate manner and was not following the rules of a grant.

"So she raised this concern and finally Willis fired her. She’s now talking with our office, and we’ll see where that goes, and that’s why we’ve subpoenaed for records and documents related to this," Jordan said, adding that there were a few more hours left in the day to hear back from Willis.

Audio of the conversation Timpson had with Willis revealed the former employee warning of a campaign aide attempting to misuse funds in November of 2021.

"Once I told him about his ... lack of leadership and the fact that he wanted to do things with grants that were impossible," Timpson said of the aide. "He would take me off projects, tell people I wasn't doing what I was supposed to because I questioned him."

She went on to tell Willis that despite her warnings, the aide said he wanted to use the grant money to "get MacBooks, ... get swag, ... use it for travel," saying he "had no idea what he was doing."

Two months after the recording date, Timpson was fired, with the former employee subsequently filing a wrongful termination lawsuit.
