‘Unreasonable and Uncustomary’: Fani Willis Responds to Jim Jordan’s Subpoena in a Letter

Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis this week responded to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan's February subpoena.

snip//

I am in receipt of your letter dated March 14, 2024. I categorically reject the assertion that this office is deficient in responding to the Committee's subpoena dated February 2, 2024. As you note in your letter, we have already provided you with substantial information about our programs that are funded via federal grants.

Further, as I expressed to you in my letter dated February 23, 2024, this office is in the process of producing relevant documents to you on a rolling basis and is undertaking a good faith effort to provide you with responsive information about our federal grant funding. As part of that ongoing process, we are again today making a document production.

Your primary complaint appears to be that we did not complete the production of your extensive document demands (including five categories of documents over a four-year period) in less than two months. That demand is unreasonable and uncustomary and would require this government office to divert resources from our primary purpose of prosecuting crime.

Let me be clear, while we are abiding by your subpoena in good faith and with due diligence, we will not divert resources that undermine our duty to the people of Fulton County to prosecute felonies committed in this jurisdiction. We will not shut down this office's efforts to prosecute crime - including gang activity, acts of violence and public corruption - to meet unreasonable deadlines in your politically motivated 'investigation' of this office.

Willis concludes, "My family, my staff and I have been threatened repeatedly by people making violent, often racist, attacks. Neither those threats, nor anything your colleagues and you say or do, will deter us from fulfilling our duty to bring this case to trial."
