Republicans threaten contempt of Congress charges for Fani Willis if she doesn't comply with their subpoena after allegedly misusing $488K taxpayer dollars on travel, MacBooks and other 'swag'

House Republicans are threatening to hold Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in contempt of Congress if she does not turnover documents relating to her alleged plan to misuse a $488,000 grant.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, previously exposed that Willis' team was planning to misuse a grant earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention to pay for new luxuries including MacBooks and expensive travel. 

A whistleblower who came forward with details of the illicit scheme was then fired, Republicans claimed, while issuing a subpoena in February demanding related documents and communications about the alleged $488,000 scheme.

But the documents the DA has since provided the committee are 'deficient,' Jordan said in a letter sent to Willis Thursday. 

He requested she turn over additional documents before noon on March 28, writing 'If you fail to do so, the Committee will consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings.'

The district attorney is already under fire over allegations she hired her 'lover' Nathan Wade to investigate former President Donald Trump's election interference case, and as a result a Georgia judge is currently weighing whether she should be removed from the case.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, threatened to hold Willis in contempt of Congress should she not provide additional documents to the committee 

The subpoena Jordan sent Willis in February demanded she turn over all documents and communications 'referring or relating to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office's receipt and use of federal funds' and 'referring or relating to any allegations of the misuse of federal funds.'

In Willis' response to the committee's subpoena, the DA insulted the whistleblower who alleged she planned on misusing government funds, according to Jordan.

'You responded to the Committee’s subpoena with a letter in which you smeared a former employee of yours who spoke out about your misuse of federal grant funds,' he wrote. 

'We will not dignify your attacks on this brave whistleblower, or your continued attempts to distract from your conduct through misdirection and personal insults.'

When whistleblower, Amanda Timpson, told Willis of the alleged plot, she was promptly fired, according to the committee's February subpoena.

She was escorted out of the office by seven armed investigators upon her termination. 

A February Free Beacon report identified Willis aide Michael Cuffe as the individual behind the alleged scheme to misuse taxpayer dollars.

'[Cuffe] wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, 'We can't do that,'' Timpson told Willis in during a November 19, 2021, meeting, according to a recording of the conversation obtained by the Free Beacon. 

'He told everybody … 'We're going to get MacBooks, we're going to get swag, we're going to use it for travel.' I said, 'You cannot do that, it's a very, very specific grant.''I respect that is your assessment,' Willis replied. 'And I'm not saying that your assessment is wrong.'

The bombshell move from the GOP puts even more pressure on Willis, who charged the former president with trying to subvert the election results in Georgia

Still, Timpson was fired anyway.

Additionally, the committee demanded documents related to Willis' relationship with Wade in January, noting that he had been paid more than $650,000 - at a rate of $250 an hour - to work on the investigation and prosecution of Trump and other federal officials, according to a court filing.

The committee noted federal funds may have been used to pay Wade, granting them jurisdiction to investigate. 

The committee also highlighted the 'enormous legal fees' Wade had billed the DA's office for, in one instance, on November 5, 2021, charging for 24 hours of legal work in one day, claiming to have worked all day and night on the prosecution.

A decision on whether Willis will be allowed to remain on the Trump case is expected by Friday.
