Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis declined congressman Jim Jordan\u2019s (R-OH) request to turn over the records he sought from a special prosecutor working in her office, with whom she allegedly had an affair.<\/p>\n
Willis said in a letter that Jordan\u2019s request to attorney Nathan Wade for records earlier this month violated \u201cprinciples of separation of powers\u201d and a \u201crespect for the legal protections provided to attorney work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jordan<\/a>\u00a0sent a letter to Willis to reportedly inquire about the potential of \u201cpolitically motivated investigations and the potential misuse of federal funds.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYour letter is simply a restatement of demands that you have made in past correspondence for access to evidence in a pending Georgia criminal prosecution,\u201d Willis wrote in Friday\u2019s letter. <\/p>\n \u201cAs I said previously, your requests implicate significant, well-recognized confidentiality interests related to an ongoing criminal matter. Your requests violate principles of separation of powers and federalism, as well as respect for the legal protections provided to attorney work product in ongoing litigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
