Democrat prosecutor Fani Willis is trying to convict Trump and others of election interference. But her Georgia case has hit many snags, mostly because of her own actions. She has faced serious allegations over hiring her partner, Nathan Wade, and paying him a high salary.
This controversy could result in the judge kicking her office off the case. It might even jeopardize her future political career.
Republican congressman Jim Jordan has opened an investigation into Willis’s actions. He has even subpoenaed Willis for documents related to her original indictment against Donald Trump. When she refused, she made this accusation against the lawmaker.
From The Post Millennial:
Fani Willis has responded to Rep. Jim Jordan’s warning that she may be held in contempt for failing to provide subpoenaed documents by suggesting that the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into the Fulton County district attorney’s office was “politically motivated.”…Willis concluded by noting that over the past few months, she, her staff, and her family had been “threatened repeatedly by people making violent, often racist, attacks,” and that neither them, nor the committee, would deter her.
Fani Willis has refused to provide documents requested by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan. She has rejected a subpoena issued by Congress and he has warned she might be held in contempt.
The Democrat responded by claiming his request was “unreasonable” and that complying with Congress would divert resources from her office meant to fight crime. She connected his request with claims about her staff facing “racist attacks.” And she concluded by saying the investigation by Jordan was “politically motivated.”
Critics will jump on this ironic statement from Willis. Most Americans believe that the criminal trials leveled at Trump are entirely political. They were launched after he announced his candidacy for president. Democrats might be running these cases, hoping to drain Trump of time and money.
For Willis to try to turn that allegation around on Jordan will no doubt disgust some Americans. Some have said there is little evidence to back Willis’s charges—the very reason Jorden opened his investigation. Many believe she is politically motivated to stop Trump’s campaign and advance her career through this case.
Much like Hunter Biden, Willis seems unable to see the hypocrisy of her own statement.
Key Takeaways:
- Fani Willis accused Jim Jordan of being “politically motivated” in investigating her case.
- Willis has refused to comply with a congressional subpoena and could be held in contempt.
- Many believe Willis’s case against Trump is politically motivated, to derail his presidential campaign.
