Willis is leading the prosecution of the sweeping 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump and has faced mounting scrutiny for allegedly having an "improper" affair with subordinate counsel.
The senators note that Amanda Timpson, the former Director of Gang Prevention and Intervention for the Fulton County DA Office, reportedly notified Willis that an official in her office planned to use the OJJDP gang prevention funding "on computers and other ineligible expenses" such as MacBooks, "swag," and travel instead of helping at risk youth in the community.
Timpson brought these concerns to Willis' attention on November 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 (SAKI).
According to OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, the office that administers SAKI, these funds were authorized to "address the issues that underline the problem of unsubmitted [sexual assault kits]" and help law enforcement and prosecutors solve more of these heinous crimes.

They also asked for all records referring or relating to the Fulton County DA’s planned expenditures for each federal grant it received, including but not limited to, any complaints or communications referring or relating to concerns that an expenditure may not be permitted or was inconsistent with the purpose of the federal grant associated with those funds.
This is the second prob the U.S. congress has launched into Willis' office. House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., subpoenaed Willis in February over the accusations of misusing federal funds. She is also under investigation by committees in the Georgia legislature.
