The House Judiciary Committee is looking into whistleblower allegations from a former Willis employee who...

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) threatened possible contempt proceedings against Georgia’s Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) over a subpoena requesting information about her use of federal funds. Willis’s office has already sent information in response to the February subpoena, but the GOP leader complains she failed to turn over documents related to allegations from a now-terminated employee who flagged another former employee’s desire to misuse federal grant money. “We appreciate that you have produced a narrow set of documents in response to the subpoena, but your compliance with the subpoena to date is deficient,” Jordan wrote...

There’s a whistleblower in her office who we have talked to, our, the committee staff,” Jordan said, and had to pause as the crowd noise interrupted him. “The whistleblower — I think she’s like 4-foot-11 — but Fani Willis had seven police escort her out when she fired this lady, because this lady raised the concern that Ms. Willis was not spending federal funds — not following the grant, the rules of the grant and the grant dollars in the appropriate manner....

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan’s probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictment against former President Donald Trump has seen an interesting turn of events.

If you were a Republican, would you turn to Morning Joe for the inside skinny about what's going on in the ongoing struggle for a new House Speaker? Would Joe Scarborough be your guide to how 200-plus elected Republicans think right now?

Cheney was defeated in a primary in 2022 by Harriet Hageman in a race that was heavily influenced by her criticism of Donald Trump. The daughter of ex-Vice President Dick Cheney said McCarthy has muddled the party by following Trump's lead. 'I wish that it were surprising,' she told CNN. 'You know, what we've seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6.' 'And, you know,...
