The House Judiciary Committee warned Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday that it would consider holding her in contempt of Congressshould she not produce material the committee has requested related to her office’s use of federal funds.

Willis, who is leading the prosecution against former President Donald Trump in Georgia, has provided some of the documents but not all of them, committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in a letter to Willis obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Jordan subpoenaed Willis for the documents last month.

“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, adding that his committee would “consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings,” should she not fully comply with his request.
