Two Republican senators are opening a second congressional investigation into embattled Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis for alleged misuse of federal funds.
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to Willis Wednesday, alleging funds from the Justice Department meant for at-risk youth and gang prevention went to purchase computers and “swag.”
The letter also alleges that in 2020, the Fulton County District Attorney’s office received nearly $500,000 to establish a center for youth empowerment and gang prevention, which has reportedly yet to open.
This is the second probe into Willis’ office by the U.S. Congress. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) subpoenaed Willis in February over the accusations of misusing federal funds. She is also under investigation by committees in the Georgia legislature.
