Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis sent another letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the House Judiciary Committee rejecting his demands.
The two have exchanged letters over the past month as Jordan demands access to her entire case against Donald Trump and the 18 other co-defendants in the racketeering case in Georgia. In her first letter, Willis hit Jordan, who has never passed the Bar Exam or practiced law, for lacking a "basic understanding of the law."
"Your letter makes clear that you lack a basic understanding of the law, its practice and the ethical obligations of attorneys generally and prosecutors specifically," she wrote.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
In her new letter, she similarly knocks Jordan's lack of legal experience and information.
"A charitable explanation of your correspondence is that you are ignorant of the United States and Georgia Constitutions and codes," the first paragraph says. "A more troubling explanation is that you are abusing your authority as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary in attempt to obstruct and interfere with a Georgia criminal prosecution."
She went on to say that he might be protected by the speech and debate clause, but his behavior is still offensive to the rule of law.
"We have already written a letter—which I have attached again for your reference—explaining why the legal positions you advance are meritless. Nothing you've said in your latest letter changes that fact," she continued.
Jordan tried the same move with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, to no avail. In that case, Bragg sued Jordan, accusing him of a "brazen and unconstitutional attack" on the prosecution of Trump and a "transparent campaign to intimidate and attack" the district attorney.
"…Rather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the Committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction," Bragg said in the suit.
"First, they indict a president for no crime. Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it," Jordan said.
Jordan then held a "field hearing" where he complained about Bragg from New York and has been silent since.
