The allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis suggest potential mismanagement or abuse of federal funds during her investigation into former President Donald Trump and other defendants. Whistleblowers, including a former employee in Willis’ office, have come forward with claims that funds intended for anti-gang initiatives were improperly redirected to support a politically motivated trial.
Congressman Jim Jordan’s comments on Fox Business indicate that the House Oversight Committee is examining Willis’ use of federal funds, spurred by information provided by the whistleblowers. The Department of Justice is also reportedly investigating Willis’ reports back to the federal government on the use of funds.
Jordan also referenced other issues such as payments made to Nathan Wade, who allegedly received approximately $700,000 while assisting Willis. Wade’s involvement in the investigation and his connection to Willis have raised questions about possible conflicts of interest.
You have Nathan Wade. Taxpayer money going to Nathan Wade. He was traveling to Washington to meet with the DOJ, the White House, the January 6th committee, all in this effort to go after President Trump, and now we have this. It looks like misspending federal grant dollars,” he continued.
“God bless the whistleblower who came forward and let us understand what’s going on here.”
Willis responded to the inquiries with a letter asserting that her office has provided substantial information about its use of federal funds and would not be swayed by the investigation. She also expressed her intent to continue pursuing the election interference prosecution against Trump and others, despite the challenges and accusations she faces.
