Willis rejected congressional GOP efforts to disclose her team's contact with the Jan. 6 committee, calling their investigation an affront to "well-established principles of federalism and separation of powers."
"You cannot — and will not — be provided access to any non-public information about this," she told the House Judiciary Committee in December in a letter obtained by the outlet.
Jan. 6 committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) had previously described “staff-level contacts” between his panel and Fulton County prosecutors. In early April 2022 — nearly two weeks before the panel’s staff met with Willis’ team — Thompson told reporters he wasn’t aware of how extensive those contacts were. And on Wednesday, Thompson told POLITICO that he did not know about the in-person visit that spring.
Willis’ office did not respond to requests for comment. A former Jan. 6 committee aide said in a statement: “As the January 6th Committee’s final report transparently stated, the Committee shared information — all of which is now public — with prosecutors conducting concurrent, independent investigations.” -Politico
After 18 months, the Jan. 6 committee amassed hundreds of witness interviews which have become key evidence in Trump's legal matters.
According to Sol Wisenberg, a former prosecutor working on Ken Starr's probe of Bill Clinton, the nature of the cooperation between Willis' team and the J6 panel is unusual.
"To me, that’s a highly unusual level of specific cooperation," he said, adding "They’re using what’s supposed to be a congressional investigation in aid of a prosecution."
