The head of the House Judiciary Committee revealed the information at CPAC.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) revealed on Feb. 23 during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that there is a whistleblower in the office of embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
During the event, Mr. Jordan, head of the House Judiciary Committee, said, “There’s a whistleblower in her office who we have talked to, the committee staff.
“The whistleblower, I think she’s 4’11”, but Fani Willis had like seven police officers escort her out when she fired this lady. She raised the concern that Ms. Willis was not following the rules of grant dollars in an appropriate manner.
“[The whistleblower is] now talking with our office, and we’ll see how that goes. But that’s why we have subpoenaed documents related to this.”
Over the past several weeks, significant allegations against Ms. Willis and her special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, have emerged, triggering several court motions and hearings during which Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade have testified. The allegations center around the timing of a romantic relationship between the two—the existence of which both have confirmed—and whether Ms. Willis financially benefitted from the arrangement.
Ms. Willis hired Mr. Wade in November 2021 to handle the racketeering and election case against former President Donald Trump and several co-defendants. Late last week, President Trump’s team said they hired a private investigator to use a program to provide data on Mr. Wade’s cellphone, suggesting that Mr. Wade was actively engaged in a relationship many months before they claimed that their relationship started, in 2022, a key claim both made in court earlier this month.
It’s unclear whether Mr. Jordan was referring to Robin Yeartie, a witness in the case who claimed that the two were involved in a relationship in 2019. Ms. Yeartie, who had owned the property where Ms. Willis had lived and was her friend, testified that she was forced to resign from the Fulton County District Attorney’s office several years ago.
However, there have been reports that the whistleblower could be another former employee at the office, Amanda Timpson.
