During a Fox Business appearance, Jordan revealed this new development, telling host Maria Bartiromo that a female informant had surfaced and was prepared to share her knowledge with the House Oversight Committee’s investigation.
According to Bartiromo, “the Justice Department is purportedly discovering irregularities in Fulton County, D.A., Fani Willis’ utilization of federal grant money.”” Willis dismissed the informant who revealed the D.A.’s office was trying to embezzle $488,000.” She went on, “This was a federal grant. She intended to use it to cover her travel and computer expenses. The D.O.J. informed the Washington Free Beacon that there are numerous reporting inconsistencies in the grant, Mr. Chairman, but it’s unclear whether she was accompanying her boyfriend or not.”
Jordan answered, “God bless the whistleblower who came forward.” “We had a conversation with the informant. She has shared information with us and the press. The Department of Justice is now investigating this.” Jordan brought up the fact that Nathan Wade, the former special prosecutor for Fulton County, had met with the January 6 Committee before his resignation.
Jordan stated, “He was going to Washington to meet with the White House, the January 6th Committee, and the D.O.J., all in this endeavor to go after President [Donald] Trump.” “Now, this is what we got.” It seems like misappropriation of federal grant funds.” Jordan has also requested information from Willis about Trump’s prosecution for election-related offenses. We have received your letter dated March 14, 2024. Willis wrote to Jordan last month, “I vehemently disagree with the claim that this office is lacking in its response to the Committee’s subpoena dated February 2, 2024.
A Justice Department spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon last week that an investigation into Willis’ office’s use of government funds is still underway.
“We are working with Fulton County to adjust their reporting correctly after we found some anomalies in what they have reported to [the Federal Subaward Reporting System],” the spokesman stated.
“Willis’s reporting “inconsistencies” on the $488,000 federal award, intended for the establishment of an Atlanta Center for Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention, remained unclear, according to the Justice Department. The center never opened, even though the grant expired in September 2023.”
“As the House Judiciary Committee continues to look into Willis’s use of federal grant funding, the Justice Department is working with his office to resolve the grant reporting “inconsistencies.” Early in February, Willis was subpoenaed by Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for documents pertaining to the $488,000 federal grant and the allegations of whistleblowers made by Amanda Timpson, a former employee of Willis who was appointed as the grant director before being abruptly fired by the district attorney in January 2022.”
