House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a response letter to Fulton County, Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis Wednesday after she rebuked the investigation he opened last month into her probe of former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the election in her state.
The latest letter from the Ohio representative explains Congress' "clear legislative interest" in making sure elected prosecutors don't abuse their authority to politically "target federal officials," which is one of Jordan's main accusations against the Atlanta-area district attorney. He argues, in the letter, that the "Constitutional and legal precedent" Willis cites does not provide her with any basis to reject compliance with the committee's requests.
