Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis criticized the investigation Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., launched into her office as "disgusting" and called him a clown.

“He continues his attacks to try to interfere in a criminal investigation. All while his jurisdiction has one of the worst crime rates, has poverty issues, and not one time has he used his position to try to investigate people who are attacking me and others who are attacking others legitimately doing their job, making him illegitimate in his position. And it’s disgusting,” Willis said Monday evening on MSNBC.

Jordan's probe includes examining potential collusion between Willis and the Jan. 6 Select Committee as well as looking at her use of federal funds.

She predicted that investigations into her conduct won't go anywhere.

“Now, at the state level, they’ve decided to follow this clown’s lead. And they want to now try to interfere in an investigation, and it’s not legitimate, either, and so it shall fail, and it’s not going to go anywhere,” Willis said. “But they are trying to attack me at every level.”

Willis said prosecutors should free of any interference.

“The sad part, though, for all of them is it doesn’t matter how many times they attack me. I am not going to be broken,” Willis said. “And I am going to still be standing here doing my job, lawfully.”
