Dear Mr. Jordan:

Yet again, I am writing to you in my official capacity as District Attorney of Fulton County and on

behalf of my office regarding requests made by the House Judiciary Committee (‘Committee’) to

several Fulton County employees, asking for documents and testimony relating to their work for

the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office (‘FCDA’ or ‘Office’).’

information about an active criminal investigation-threatens the integrity of an ongoing criminal

matter, ignores centuries of precedent about the limits of Congressional power, and tramples over

foundational principles of state sovereignty and federalism.²

Let us speak plainly, Mr. Jordan. Your so-called ‘investigation’ into the Office’s contacts with the

House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol has

never been anything more than a dangerous attempt, performed at the behest of those under
