Republican senators in Georgia are using a new state law designed to rein in rogue prosecutors to file a complaint against Democrat Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants on allegations of trying to subvert the state's 2020 election results.
The complaint, reviewed Monday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, was filed by a group of eight GOP senators that includes Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch, R- Dahlonega, and state Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas, chair of the majority caucus. "The integrity of our justice system is at stake, and the trust of the community in the District Attorney's Office has been severely eroded," said the complaint, which was filed hours after the law took effect Oct. 1.
Willis, who has criticized the law as racist and retaliatory, declined to comment to the Journal-Constitution through a spokesman.
