A Georgia state Senate committee has subpoenaed District Attorney Fani Willis, demanding her testimony and documents related to her investigation of Donald Trump and others for alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Willis faces allegations of wrongdoing while investigating and prosecuting Donald Trump and others for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election in Fulton County. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram ruled that Georgia state lawmakers can subpoena District Attorney Fani Willis over allegations of wrongdoing in the case against President-elect Donald Trump .
In the order, Ingram reportedly highlighted that the Senate committee demanding the information from Willis had already told the prosecutor they were willing to seek a narrower scope of documents. “Petitioner claims that the subpoenas are overbroad and seek privileged and/or confidential information,” Ingram wrote. “This may very well be true, but this Court needs more details on the basis for these objections from Petitioner before ruling on Respondents’ application for enforcement.”that Ingram gave Willis “until Jan. 13 to submit arguments over whether the subpoenas seek legally shielded or confidential information.” Ingram told Willis she “would issue a final order” after reading the arguments, including what the district attorney must answer regarding the subpoenas.I think you all know the fiasco around Trump’s case regarding Willis and former special prosecutor Nathan Wade after the defendants claimed conflict of interest since the two had a romantic relationship. The Georgia Senate wants answers, too: The Republican-led Senate committee sent subpoenas to Willis in August seeking to compel her to testify during its September meeting and to produce scores of documents. The committee was formed earlier this year to examine allegations of “various forms of misconduct” by Willis, an elected Democrat, during her prosecution of Trump and others over their efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. The resolution creating the committee focused in particular on Willis’ hiring of Wade to lead the prosecution against Trump and other
