Fulton County DA Fani Willis to Testify Before Georgia Senate on Trump Prosecution Amid Legal Disputes
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is set to testify before a special Georgia Senate committee on December 17 regarding her prosecution of President Trump. This comes amid ongoing legal disputes over the validity of subpoenas issued by the previous Georgia General Assembly. The committee, formed in January 2024, is investigating allegations of misconduct by Willis in her handling of the case against Trump and others, related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. The committee's subpoena powers were recently reinforced by a new law, prompting Willis to agree to testify under the new subpoena. However, the committee's chairman, Bill Cowsert, seeks legal validation of the old subpoena, arguing for legislative authority. The Georgia Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism about the old subpoena's validity, suggesting it expired with the previous legislature.
