House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed the Georgia prosecutor leading the investigation into Donald Trump's election subversion.
The Ohio Republican issued the subpoena to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis seeking documents related to the use and spending of federal funds by her office, reported CNN.
Jordan's letter accompanying the subpoena cites a whistleblower who alleges that Willis' office misused funds unrelated to the Trump investigation, although the committee chairman had also previously requested documents related to that case.
Trump and 18 codefendants were charged with racketeering in the sprawling Georgia election case brought by Willis.

One of those codefendants, Mike Roman, is seeking to have Willis and her lead investigator Nathan Wade disqualified from the case due to an alleged romantic relationship while working on the investigation.
Jordan issued a letter last month ordering Wade to hand over a slew of documents linked to Willis' investigation and communication with the House Jan. 6 committee and special counsel Jack Smith, who has filed parallel charges against Trump in Washington, D.C.
