The allegations revolve around a memo Willis wrote to the Jan. 6 committee’s then-chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), in which she requested access to transcripts, emails, and travel records. Members of her administration then allegedly traveled to Capitol Hill for a meeting with committee staff, in which they reviewed nonpublic material.

One letter addressed to assistant prosecutor Donald Wakeford notes that the House Judiciary Committee has been asking him since Feb. 6 to appear before Congress for a transcribed interview, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by Law and Crime.

“It has been 70 days since the Committee first requested your voluntary cooperation with our oversight,” the letter reads. “Upon your request, the Committee granted you an extension for the purpose of obtaining counsel to represent you in this matter. You have had sufficient time to obtain counsel, and, in fact, you currently have counsel representing you before the Committee. There is no reason for further delay.”

Wakeford previously requested a 30-day extension to obtain personal counsel and seek legal advice. As of March 31, he had retained an attorney, former Fulton County prosecutor Charlie Bailey, a Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for Georgia lieutenant governor in 2022. Wakeford, however, has still not complied with the committee’s requests.

Similar letters were sent Thursday afternoon to deputy district attorney Will Wooten, assistant chief investigator Michael Hill, and assistant chief investigator Trina Swanson-Lucas, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

Following the first slew of inquiries in February, the staffers wrote back with guidance issued by their boss, Willis, which the latest letters reference.

According to Thursday’s letters, the congressional committee received an email stating that Willis told the staff members that they were “not authorized to release any potentially responsive items to any outside party whatsoever” because all relevant records are the “exclusive property” of her office.

In response, the committee members insisted they have the authority to seek such information.

“As we explained in our February 6 letter to you, the FCDAO’s politically motivated prosecution of a President implicates substantial federal interests, and its coordination with the partisan January 6 Select Committee raises additional questions relevant to the Committee’s oversight into political prosecutions to inform potential legislative reforms,” the committee told Wakeford on Thursday.

The lawmakers also warned of escalating actions if they are met with more resistance.

“For example,” the committee members wrote, “the Committee may consider legislative proposals, such as amending the federal officer removal statute — codified at 28 U.S.C. § 1442 — to broaden the criteria under which state cases against federal officials can be moved to federal court, or requiring state prosecutors to disclose any coordination with congressional committees or federal entities when pursuing cases against current or former federal officials.”

The staffers were told to comply by the new May 1 deadline.

Willis is at the center of several House Judiciary Committee inquiries, including one investigating her office’s use of federal funding from the Department of Justice. A whistleblower, whom Willis fired, alleged she misused DOJ grant money meant to finance the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention and instead spent the taxpayer funds on unrelated, frivolous expenses.

For nearly two years, Willis has repeatedly refused to cooperate with the congressional investigations, even under threat of being held in contempt of Congress.

Willis and the committee’s chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), have been engaged in a war of words over her noncompliance.

At the state level, Willis is also fighting a subpoena from a special Georgia Senate committee that was formed to look into prosecutorial misconduct allegations against her.

“This has been going on now for many months,” Republican state Sen. Bill Cowsert, who chairs the committee, said during a Senate hearing. “We issued our subpoena back in September of ’24. We’re now six months later, and we haven’t gotten her to comply, even though the judge has ordered it. And, you know, we are fed up with that.”

GOP state Sen. Greg Dolezal accused Willis of “thumb[ing] her nose at this committee.”

Willis will continue to challenge the subpoena, an attorney representing Willis said in a statement shared with FOX 5 Atlanta. However, she has agreed to produce “certain already publicly produced documents” and “will do so at an appropriate time,” the attorney added.
