The GOP move against District Attorney Fani Willis replays a familiar script for the party -- playing defense in the former president's legal battles.
The GOP move against District Attorney Fani Willis replays a familiar script for the party -- playing defense in the former president’s legal battles.
The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday launched an investigation into Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, hours before Trump is expected to turn himself in following his indictment on racketeering charges related to his push to overturn the 2020 presidential election in that state.
“Given the weighty federal interests at stake, the Committee is conducting oversight of this matter to determine whether any legislative reforms are appropriate or necessary. Such reforms could include changes to the federal officer removal statute, immunities for federal officials, the permissible use of federal funds, the authorities of special counsels, and the delineation of prosecutorial authority between federal and local officials,” Jordan wrote in the letter.
In the spring, House Republicans sent a similar letter to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg following his indictment of Trump. That GOP request asked Bragg for details on federal funding and talks with DOJ that are similar to the Thursday request of Willis, as well as closed-door interviews.
