Fani Willis to face Georgia Senate questions about Trump prosecution, despite legal disputes
Fulton County DA Fani Willis will testify on Dec. 17 after legal disputes over subpoena validity involving election interference investigation against Donald Trump.
- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is scheduled to testify on Dec. 17 before a Georgia Senate committee amid a court review of a 2024 subpoena she sued to void, the Georgia Supreme Court heard Tuesday.
- State senators in January 2024 created the Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations to examine allegations tied to Fani Willis' hiring of Nathan Wade, special prosecutor, and a potential conflict of interest.
- When the court considered the case Tuesday, lawyers argued the 2024 subpoena is moot because it was issued after the Georgia General Assembly adjourned sine die, while Georgia Supreme Court justices suggested it 'died' with the prior legislature.
- Committee lawyers warned the court they might restart the process if the constitutional question remains unresolved, while Bill Cowsert seeks to validate the older subpoena to set a legal precedent.
- A Georgia Court of Appeals ruling that removed Fani Willis demonstrates immediate legal fallout, while four Republican committee members seeking statewide office in 2026 reveal the political stakes.
