The U.S. Marshals Service recently had to physically deliver a subpoena to Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis after she failed to take service of the House Judiciary Committee subpoena over email.
The House Judiciary Committee sent the subpoena to the Georgia district attorney on Feb. 2, requesting documents related to the possible misuse of federal funds for her 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump, but she refused to respond to the subpoena after the committee sent it to her via email.

âWhy wouldnât Fani Willis just accept service like everyone else? Making the U.S. Marshalâs Service use taxpayer money to do this is a complete waste of time and resources. But we shouldnât be surprised when it comes to her office,â a source close to the matter told the Daily Caller.
The House Judiciary Committee wants all documents and messages related to the Fulton County District Attorneyâs Officeâs use of federal money allocated to the county by the Department of Justiceâs Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
Reports emerged in late January that Willis had fired an employee who blew the whistle to her about her officeâs misuse of funds.

âHe wanted to do things with grants that were impossible, and I kept telling him, like, âWe canât do that,ââ the whistleblower said in a recording published by the Washington Free Beacon. âHe told everybody [ ⌠] âWeâre going to get MacBooks, weâre going to get swag, weâre going to use it for travel.â I said, âYou cannot do that, itâs a very, very specific grant.ââ
Willis also stands accused of paying funds to another lawyer while having an inappropriate relationship with him. âBy going after the most high level person, and the Republican Nominee, she was able to get her âloverâ much more money, almost a Million Dollars, than she would be able to get for the prosecution of any other person or individual,â Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The other lawyer in the affair, Nathan Wade, is now leading the case to prosecute Trump over allegations that he attempted to interfere with the election in 2020.
