House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has been accused of launching an investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis based on information that has been public for a year.
The Ohio Republican Representative has written a letter to the Georgia prosecutor who indicted Donald Trump and 18 others in her 2020 election interference case. He accused her office of having "coordinated its politically motivated prosecutions" with the now-defunct House Select Committee which investigated the January 6 attack.
Jordan, a staunch ally of the former president, said Willis' office sought records from the January 6 committee as part of her investigation. Jordan said she had sent a letter to the panel's chairman, Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson, seeking access to recordings, transcripts and other communications and documents obtained by the Democrat-majority panel during its probe into the 2021 Capitol riot.
