Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) said they are investigating whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis misused federal funds, according to a recent letter.

The two Republican senators made reference to several public reports that claimed Ms. Willis’ office, which currently has a case against former President Donald Trump, is squandering federal funds, including for a Department of Justice juveniles program for unrelated travel and frivolous purchases, their letter said.
