The Biden Justice Department "invited" Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to apply for a lucrative sole-source grant in 2022 at the same time that she was pursuing an election interference investigation against Donald Trump, the eventual GOP competitor to President Joe Biden, internal correspondence obtained by Just the News reveals.
"I want to document your recognition of our progress and services provided with dynamic partners, as we complete sole source steps for our new grant award, a grant in which you invited us to apply," Willis wrote to Justice Department Senior Policy Advisor Scott Pestridge in the Office of Justice Programs in December 2022.
The district attorney was highlighting the Justice Department’s 2022 Office of Justice Programs Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative grant, from which her office ultimately received $2,000,000 to implement its programs, agency records show.
Willis' office given millions by Biden DOJ at the same time she was prosecuting Trump.
That award, which was opened in April 2022 as a competitive grant, appears to have been provided to Fulton County as the "sole source," according to the district attorney. The Justice Department defines a sole source procurement as "noncompetitive," meaning no other entity competed against Fulton for the award.
