In a new letter, Jim Jordan—chairman of the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee—requests production of documents and other communications exchanged between the office of Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and the Jan. 6 Committee.

Jordan cites this Dec. 17, 2021 letter Willis sent to J6C, which requested records relevant to the DA’s criminal investigation.

Jordan says his committee recently became aware of “cooperation” between J6C and Willis’s office.

But… Image
(1) It’s not unusual or improper for law enforcement to request docs from other government bodies.

(2) It’s been publicly known for a while now that Willis received some information from J6C directly.

I mean, it’s literally in the report.

There’s no gotcha here. Image
Jordan also sent a letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, who served as chairman of the January 6 Committee.

The letter similarly requests communications and documents exchanged between J6C and the Fulton County district attorney’s office.

NEW: The day before Rudy Giuliani proposed "voluntary access" to Georgia voting machines at 2020 White House meeting, he met w/ Cathy Latham, a GOP official who is now indicted for Coffee County breach, posts show.

It's one of many details the GBI missed.
lawfaremedia.org/article/what-t…
Latham had traveled from Coffee County to stay at the Willard Hotel with a tour group.

In DC, she had what she described on social media as a “meeting” w/ Giuliani.

In White House meeting the next day, Giuliani floated proposal to access Georgia voting machines w/ insider help.

But Giuliani wasn’t the only top Trump ally with whom Latham met in D.C.

A newly unearthed photo shows Latham w/ Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell at the Trump Hotel around that time.

Weeks later, Latham escorted a computer forensics team into the Coffee County elections office. Image

Judge McAfee is back on the bench to discuss proposals for Harrison Floyd's amended conditions of release.

The prosecution and defense both took time to draft proposals for new conditions.

McAfee is currently reviewing those proposals on the bench.
The prior order prohibited communication w/ co-defendants about facts of the case.

It sounds like the state's new proposal would impose "no contact" outright between Floyd and co-defendants.

(I don't have a copy of proposed order, but parties are debating conditions now.)
As parties discuss amended bond conditions, Willis refers to "defendant Trump."

Floyd pipes up: "President Trump," he emphasizes.

Judge McAfee cautions Floyd that it's not his turn to speak.
