House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan launched a probe Thursday into a Virginia prosecutor he claims is siding with a left-wing activist being investigated for threats to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and the intimidation of his family.
Jordan’s (R-Ohio) request for information from Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Arlington County and the City of Falls Church, comes after the prosecutor reportedly asked a local judge to limit a state law enforcement search of a woman accused of putting up menacing flyers in Miller’s Northern Virginia neighborhood and making a bizarre gesture at the White House official’s wife.
“On October 2, 2025, in the matter pending before a court in Arlington County, you made ‘an unusual request’ by siding ‘with the defense’ in requesting that the judge overseeing the matter limit the search warrant and the information that state police could share with the FBI, which the judge so ordered,” Jordan wrote in a letter Dehghani-Tafti.
“According to investigators involved in the case, you have been ‘stymying the investigation’ into the threats made against the Miller family,” the congressman added.
The Millers moved out of their Arlington, Va., home, and put it up for sale, after 66-year-old Barbara Wien allegedly plastered their neighborhood with “”NO NAZIS IN NOVA,” flyers, according to Axios.
The posters included an image of Miller’s head inside a crossed-out red circle and listed his home address.
A QR code on the flyers linked to the Instagram account of the activist group, Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity (ANUFH) – an organization Jordan claimed Dehghani-Tafti is a supporter of.
The flyers were put up on Sept. 11 – the day after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah.
That same day, Wien allegedly walked by the Millers’ home as the White House official’s wife, Katie Miller, sat on the porch and pointed her index and middle fingers to her eye, signaling that she was watching the family.
Dehghani-Tafti became involved in the case when the Millers went to Virginia State Police with their complaint, after Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala denied two FBI search warrant requests related to Wien.
Wien has not been arrested, and the warrants sought were to investigate whether she had violated any laws.
“Your unmistakably partisan actions suggest that you are willing to not only ignore threats of political violence against those with whom you disagree, but will actively side with those making the threats,” Jordan wrote in his letter to the prosecutor.
“The Miller family deserves the same protections afforded to all Americans, particularly when it comes to feeling safe in their own home,” he added. “Their safety is especially important in light of recent left-wing political violence against prominent Republicans, and the election of an attorney general in Virginia who fantasizes about murdering the children of his political opponents.”
“The appearance that you have allowed your political bias to influence an investigation involving a senior Trump Administration official gives rise to substantial federal concerns.”
Dehghani-Tafti’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
