Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump, has called Representative Jim Jordan from Ohio a "clown" who is trying to interfere in the prosecution.

Earlier this year, the House Judiciary Committee launched an investigation into Willis' office's use of federal funds. Jordan, the Republican chair of the committee and Trump ally, later threatened to hold her in contempt of Congress if she did not comply with a subpoena for documents.

"Jim Jordan has time after time after time attacked my office with no legitimate purpose," Willis said during an interview on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show on Monday.

"Anyone who knows Jim Jordan's history knows that he only has the purpose of trying to interfere in a criminal investigation." Newsweek has contacted Jordan's office for comment via email.Willis said Jordan was continuing the attacks on her office while neglecting the district he represents in Ohio.

1. A clown. A Stephen King clown that is.

2. It was great hearing her on Rachel's show. Thank you! ⭐️

3. msnbc has to start off their tweet with the words "Follow this clown's lead" ?? & the pic of fani ???

jesus. no one could have come up with a better sentence or lead in? if you didn't see the interview, or you don't know what fani is talking about, you might think this clown reference is in relation to her! that just pisses me off.

4. Not sure which is worse: intentional sliming or accidental gaffery

But, after all, they're just not very sharp, these American media folks.

6. Rachel must be livid

She is not quick to anger

[CrispyQ]

10. Yesterday they had a big banner about Merchan chastising "a witness" with images of Michael Cohen.

After several images of Cohen they finally showed images of Costello.

5. I think...

... it's NOT appropriate for a County DA to call a US Congressperson a "clown" - unless, of course, the person is a clown. In this case, the description may be too elevated. I would suggest an additional word might make the description more appropriate. How about "Wretched clown?" "Good-for-nothing clown?" "Low life clown?"

7. 3 years and counting, isnt it past your jail time mr jordan.?

8. It was an awesome show last night and loved how Rachel connected what is happening to Fani WIllis today

happened to a federal prosecutor back in the 40s. Back then, politicians (senators, reps, state & local politician, seven president) had him removed because he was prosecuting "one of their own" and they didn't want that Nazi sympathizer prosecuted.

They were attacking the Rule of Law for him and Rachel connected it to today's time where all of the clowns are attacking the rule of law with TSF and the criminal trial in NY.

Recommend you watch the show on MSNBC.com if you get a chance as it a was fantastic show..

9. She is one brave woman that continues to fight even with the constant threat by the right wing thugs.

[Traurigkeit]

12. Being born and raised in the south is a constant threat, so this crap from Republicans is nothing.

[bluestarone]

11. So, i've forgotten now.

When is the hearing, that they are still trying to remove her from the trial? She's the best. I will be so pissed if they succeed.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. She handily won her primary today.

Fulton DA Willis easily defeats primary challenger

17. Yea saw that!! That's great!! But

I was talking about TFG's lawyers that wanted her removed from the case. Wonder how that's going?

[Delphinus]

13. I looked at

some of the replies over on the bluebird site and they (repubs is my guess) are posting things that she stole money from different accounts. She is up against a lot of ugly rumors and lies.

[republianmushroom]

14. Good
