Fani Willis may have fired the employee who warned her about mishandling federal funds. But she didn't deny her allegations.
Less than a year into her tenure as Fulton County district attorney, in 2021, Willis met with Amanda Timpson, an employee in the district attorney's
office responsible for giving nonviolent juvenile offenders "alternatives to the juvenile court system." During their conversation, a recording of which was reviewed by the
Washington Free Beacon, Timpson claimed to Willis that she had been demoted after attempting to stop a top Willis campaign aide from misusing federal grant money meant for a youth gang prevention initiative.
According to Timpson, the aide,
Michael Cuffee, planned to use part of a $488,000
federal grant—earmarked for the creation of a Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention—to pay for "swag," computers, and travel.

During their Nov. 19, 2021, meeting, Timpson told Willis about Cuffee's stated plans to spend federal funds on computers and other ineligible expenses.
Documents
reviewed by the
Free Beacon confirm the grant in question was not meant to be spent on computers or other items. The Fulton County Center of Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention never opened, and the county-owned building meant to house it is closed to the public, its gates padlocked.
Timpson followed up with Willis on Dec. 7, 2021, reiterating in an
email concerns that federal funds were being misappropriated.
Commentary:
Hmm...., As this onion continues to be peeled back, Fani Willis like most Democrats looks as corrupt as they can possibly come.
This is a systemic problems and systems are designed to work that way. There are safeguards in place to protect them..
Somebody needs to go to jail. And it ain’t Trump.
