On Tuesday, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) officially launched an investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after it was revealed that her office colluded with the January 6th Select Committee on the Capitol Riot.
Earlier this year, Willis indicted President Trump and 18 other allies for their actions following the 2020 presidential election. Trump specifically was hit with 13 charges, including "Violation Of The Georgia Rico (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations) Act," "Solicitation Of Violation Of Oath By Public Officer," "Conspiracy To Commit False Statements and Writings," and "Conspiracy To Commit Forgery in the First Degree," as well as several other charges.
In a letter to Willis, both Jordan and Loudermilk explained that Willis not only coordinated with Special Counsel Jack Smith but also with the January 6th Committee in order to bolster her "politically motivated persecution" of President Trump. The Judiciary Committee became aware of this coordination after a letter was uncovered sent by Fani Willis to January 6th Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) requesting access "to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel."
"Although it is not clear what records, if any, you obtained from your coordination with the partisan January 6 Select Committee, this new information raises additional questions relevant to the Committee’s oversight of your politically motivated prosecution of a former President of the United States and several former senior federal officials," Jordan wrote. "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."
