Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis has penned another letter in an attempt to shut down Jim Jordan’s efforts to gain information about her investigation into former President Trump and his allies. Following Willis’ refusal to release all records related to her investigation into 2020 election interference last month, the House Judiciary Chairman, who is conducting an investigation into the prosecution, accused Willis of giving a “hostile response” that reinforces concerns about her prosecutorial conduct. Jordan has set a deadline of Wednesday to receive the requested information, according to the Hill.
In her response on Wednesday, Willis echoed her previous argument that “the legal positions you advance are meritless.” She wrote, “A charitable explanation of your correspondence is that you are ignorant of the United States and Georgia Constitutions and codes,” according to CNN. Willis further stated that a more troubling explanation is that Jordan is abusing his authority as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary to obstruct and interfere with a Georgia criminal prosecution. She referenced Jordan’s confession on The Mark Levin Show on Sept. 10, where he admitted the motivation behind his actions, as reported by the Hill. Willis highlighted Jordan’s statement during the show, “We’re trying to get all the answers, but we’re trying to stop this stuff as well.”
The DA continued, “As I have explained, your requests implicate significant, well-recognized confidentiality interests related to an ongoing criminal matter, as well as serious constitutional concerns regarding federalism and the separation of powers.” Willis has previously provided information about the federal funding her office receives, as requested by Jordan. However, she has refused to provide communication between her office and officials in the federal executive branch, as well as other information related to the investigation. Willis advised Jordan to direct specific questions about the Department of Justice’s communications to the Department of Justice itself, emphasizing the heavy workload her team is currently handling. (The DA has recently spoken out about the threats she has faced.)
