Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis declined to accept a House Judiciary Committee subpoena sent over email, leading the U.S. Marshals Service to hand-deliver it to her in person, according to sources. The House Judiciary Committee issued the subpoena on February 2, seeking documents related to Willis’s potential misuse of federal funds in connection with the indictment of former President Donald Trump. Willis’s refusal to accept the emailed subpoena prompted the U.S. Marshals Service to personally serve it, incurring additional time and resources.
The House Judiciary Committee requested all documents and communications related to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office’s receipt and use of federal funds from the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
Amid allegations of Willis’s misuse of taxpayer dollars and failure to report it properly, a bipartisan committee, led by Republican Georgia Lt. Governor Burt Jones, was formed to investigate Willis. The committee, comprising six Republicans and three Democrats, will scrutinize Willis’s relationship with Nathan Wade, her lover, and the alleged mishandling of taxpayer funds. Wade, employed as a special prosecutor in the election interference case against Trump, has been accused of benefiting from lucrative contracts awarded by Willis’s office.
Following Willis’s admission to being in a relationship with Wade, Trump criticized her actions, asserting that by targeting him, she secured more money for her “lover.” Trump contended that the entire situation discredited the investigation. The Fulton County District Attorney’s office did not respond immediately to requests for comment from the Daily Caller.
