Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, sent a scathing reply to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R – OH) on Friday. She claimed that he interfered with her prosecution against former President Donald Trump by his record requests.

She said that Jordan had abused his congressional authority by asking about Georgia criminal cases.

Willis noted that “your attempt to invoke Congress authority to intrude on and interfere with a criminal case currently in Georgia is in flagrant conflict with the Constitution,” and that “his violation of Georgia’s sovereignty is offensive and won’t stand.”

Willis’s response comes after Jordan asked Willis to send him documents and records related to Trump’s indictment.

Jordan stated that there were several federal interests in this case. These include how the case relates to the Constitution’s Supremacy clause; how the case affects Trump who receives federal benefits as a result of his presidency such as Secret Service, how the matter affects the 2024 election and could interfere with it; the way Willis’s office used federal funds and the possible interference with it with the GOP 2024 front-runner, Trump; the use of federal funds by Willis’s office; and the coordination between her and

Willis stated that Jordan’s communication with her “violates principles of state sovereignty”, violates separation of powers and “improperly interferes” with the administration criminal justice.

The district attorney stated that Jordan’s “unjustified” and “illegal” intrusion into her prosecution was “clearly permitted” by the Constitution, but then provided a “voluntary response” to the chairman.

She also told him, “as someone who is not a member of the bar,” to buy a book on racketeering, which was part of her charges against Trump.

Jordan has a law degree but didn’t take the bar examination.

In her letter, the district attorney accused Jordan of “lack[ing] basic understanding of law”. She also included “suggestions on productive activities” for Jordan’s Committee.

She used Jordan’s words to attack him at one point, saying that his letter “calls back” to the letter Jordan sent to the select committee on Jan. 6, last year, arguing that the subpoena issued to Jordan by the committee was “unprecedented” and “served no legitimate legislative purpose.” Jordan fought the subpoena. The committee then dropped its pursuit.
