House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan and Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., overseeing the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, initiated an inquiry into potential collaboration between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the Democrats’ January 6 committee after discovering a concerning revelation.
Uncovered evidence showcased a December 17, 2021, letter from Willis to Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss., requesting evidence from Congress that could aid in the prosecution of Donald Trump and other defendants.
Expressing their alarm in a letter addressed to Willis, Jordan and Loudermilk outlined their apprehensions about the request made to Rep. Thompson. The letter highlighted Willis’s solicitation for access to various records, including transcripts of witness interviews, electronic communications, and travel logs.
“Specifically, you asked Rep. Thompson for access to ‘record [sic] includ[ing] but . . . not limited to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel.’ You even offered that you and your staff were eager to travel to Washington, D.C, to ‘meet with investigators in person’ and to receive these records ‘any time’ between January 31, 2022, and February 25, 2022,” the lawmakers wrote.
The lawmakers pointed out the eagerness displayed by Willis and her team to visit Washington, D.C., to obtain these records, scheduling potential dates between January 31, 2022, and February 25, 2022.
Loudermilk also noted the disappearance of certain video transcripts of January 6 witnesses, further adding to the growing concerns.
Willis subsequently brought charges against Trump and others related to the January 6 riot, charges vehemently denounced by the former president and his supporters as politically motivated, primarily focusing on alleged attempts to alter the 2020 election outcome in Georgia.
Loudermilk underscored the worrisome coordination between Willis and Pelosi’s committee, highlighting potential violations of due process and House Rules. The representatives emphasized their concerns regarding the lack of proper disclosure and transparency and indicated their intent to seek the truth in this matter.
“The coordination between Fulton County, GA District Attorney Fani Willis, and Pelosi’s January 6 Select Committee, should be concerning to everyone. This new information raises questions about Willis’ and Thompson’s commitment to due process, and whether House Rules were violated when the Select Committee failed to properly disclose this material. We have serious concerns about this behavior and we are seeking the truth,” Loudermilk said after he and Jordan released the letter.
