The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday demanded records from the Fulton County District Attorney’s office related to its coordination with the Jan. 6 Select Committee for its prosecution of President Donald Trump in Georgia. 

The letter, sent to Assistant Chief Investigator Michael Hill from Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., asks for communications and documents from District Attorney Fani Willis’s efforts to coordinate with Jan. 6 Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., on her prosecution of the president. 

“On December 17, 2021, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wrote to Representative Bennie Thompson, Chairman of the partisan January 6 Select Committee, to make ‘an official request . . . for access to records that may be relevant’ to the political prosecution of President Trump,” Jordan and Loudermilk wrote.

According to the lawmakers, Willis noted that she or her staff were willing to travel to the nation’s capital to obtain the records. According to recent testimony obtained by the committee, Hill and other Fulton County employees visited D.C. to meet with select committee staffers to review the documents. 

“We previously wrote to District Attorney Willis requesting documents relating to her coordination with the January 6 Select Committee. However, District Attorney Willis has declined to cooperate in full with our inquiry,” the lawmakers wrote. 

“Because District Attorney Willis has declined to cooperate, the Committee must pursue other avenues to obtain this information,” they said later. 

Chairman Jordan launched an investigation into Willis and other local and state prosecutors as part of his Weaponization Subcommittee for the prosecutions against Trump during the last Congress and noted in the letter that the probe would continue this year.
