Two Republican lawmakers are opening a second congressional investigation into embattled Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis for alleged misuse of federal grant funding.
Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., in a letter to Willis Wednesday alleged funds granted to the Fulton County District Attorney's office by the Justice Department Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention meant to help at-risk youth and gang prevention went to purchase computers and 'swag.' The letter also alleges that, in 2020, OJJDP awarded Fulton County nearly $500,000 to establish the Fulton County Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention.
Timpson brought these concerns to Willis' attention Nov. 19, 2021, and two months later, Timpson's employment was terminated, the letter says. The letter also highlights that, in 2020, the Fulton County DA’s office received $2 million in federal funding through the Office of Justice Program's Sexual Assault Kit Initiative .
The Fulton County DA's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
