From Newsmax:
Chairman Jim Jordan in a letter to Willis sent Thursday cites “concerns about [Willis’] motivation” in bringing the case and requested all documents and communications referring or relating to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office’s receipt and use of federal funds, all documents and communications between or among the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and DOJ and its components, including but not limited to the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith, referring or relating to its investigation of Trump or any of the other 18 individuals and all documents and communications between the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and any federal Executive Branch officials regarding the probe.
He also suggested her indictment against Trump highlights “the threat that such state prosecutions can pose to the operations of the federal government.”
“Given the weighty federal interests at stake, the Committee is conducting oversight of this matter to determine whether any legislative reforms are appropriate or necessary,” Jordan said in the letter. “Such reforms could include changes to the federal officer removal statute, immunities for federal officials, the permissible use of federal funds, the authorities of special counsels, and the delineation of prosecutorial authority between federal and local officials.”
