“We appreciate that you have produced a narrow set of documents in response to the subpoena,” issued on February 2, “but your compliance with the subpoena to date is deficient.”
In a letter sent on Thursday, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan threatened to hold Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in contempt of Congress if additional documents aren’t produced in relation to an investigation into the misuse of federal funds by her office.
Jordan wrote, "We appreciate that you have produced a narrow set of documents in response to the subpoena," issued on February 2, "but your compliance with the subpoena to date is deficient."

View on XJordan stated that Willis has failed to produce documentation and communications related to the allegations of misuse of federal funds by the office, communications with the Justice Department, documents that "fall within the scope of the subpoena," communications between office staff on the receipt of federal grants, in addition to other categories that still lacked the production of documentation.
"On February 23, 2024, you responded to the Committee’s subpoena with a letter in which you smeared a former employee of yours who spoke out about your misuse of federal grant funds. We will not dignify your attacks on this brave whistleblower, or your continued attempts to distract from your conduct through misdirection and personal insults. The allegations in the public realm about your misuse of federal grant funding are concerning, and the Committee has an obligation to examine them," Jordan wrote.
"While you have indicated that additional documents may be forthcoming in response to the Committee’s subpoena, the Committee has yet to receive any additional responsive materials in the three weeks since your initial response," Jordan later added.
"Accordingly, the Committee expects that you will produce all responsive documents to the subpoena in the categories prioritized bt the Committee no later than 12:00 pm on March 28, 2024. If you fail to do so, the Committee will consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings."
The letter comes as a decision is expected to soon be handed down in the case to disqualify Willis from the Georgia election case against Trump and other defendants over an alleged conflict of interest in hiring special prosecutor Nathan Wade, with whom she was revealed to have a relationship.
