Two House Republican lawmakers on Dec. 5 launched an inquiry into what they allege was collusion between Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who brought a criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump, and the congressional committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced in a press release on Tuesday that he and Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) “recently” learned Ms. Willis’s office “coordinated its investigative actions” with the Jan. 6 House Select Committee, prompting them to launch an inquiry into Ms. Willis’s criminal investigation of President Trump that the lawmakers allege is politically motivated.
