Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson are investigating whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office misused federal funds.
The two Republican senators highlighted multiple reports accusing Willis’ office of squandering funds, including from the Justice Department Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and other initiatives, on frivolous items such as “swag” and unrelated travel.
“In Fiscal Year (FY) 2020, OJJDP awarded Fulton County nearly $500,000 to establish the Fulton County Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention,” Grassley (R-Iowa) and Johnson (R-Wis.) wrote in a letter to Willis Wednesday.
“The Center has yet to open and the ‘building meant to house it is closed to the public, its gates padlocked.'”
They cited Washington Free Beacon reporting on Willis, a Democrat, firing Amanda Timpson, previously the head of gang prevention and intervention at the DA office.
She was the one who sounded the alarm about the potential misuse of OJJDP funds.
“The waste or misuse of taxpayer funds is unacceptable,” the Republican duo wrote.
Johnson and Grassley’s probe comes after House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) subpoenaed Willis back in February over similar allegations of mishandling federal funds.
Jordan has also threatened to hold Willis in contempt if she doesn’t comply with his demands.
