This move comes in response to allegations of whistleblower retaliation and misuse of federal grant \u2062funds.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter addressed to Willis, Jordan cited\u200b a detailed report by the Washington Free Beacon on the whistleblower, Amanda \u2062Timpson.\u200b Timpson\u2064 had recorded a \u2062meeting in November 2021 where she \u2064raised concerns about the potential misappropriation of\u200c a \u2062$488,000 grant intended for a youth gang prevention initiative.
