Established Fact
The January 6 Select Committee shared unarchived video recordings and key evidentiary materials with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to assist her state-level prosecution of President Trump for his post-election challenges in Georgia – materials that were never transmitted to the House Clerk and were therefore not part of the official congressional record. This coordination between a federal legislative committee and a state prosecutor, using unarchived evidence, raises questions of prosecutorial coordination, chain-of-custody integrity, and potentially obstruction of any subsequent federal investigation that might have a different evidentiary posture.
