House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over documents detailing her office’s alleged misuse of federal grant funds.
The congressional writ comes amid reports that Willis fired a whistleblower less than two months after the employee warned the Georgia prosecutor about misconduct.
Former Fulton County DA Staffer Amanda Timpson complained in audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon that Willis campaign aide Michael Cuffee planned to use some of the $488,000 federal money their office received for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention on “MacBooks,” “swag,” and “travel.” She said she warned Cuffee that the grants were “very, very specific,” but he said the abuse of funds was Willis’s “vision.”
“He wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, ‘We can’t do that,’” Timpson told Willis during a November 2021 meeting about Cuffee’s decision to demote her.
Willis told Timpson, “I respect that is your assessment” and “I’m not saying that your assessment is wrong,” but had the whistleblower escorted “out of her office by seven armed investigators” weeks after.
