Georgia Senate to Probe Allegations Against Fulton County DA
Special Committee to Investigate
Resolution Passed with Overwhelming Support
ATLANTA - The Georgia State Senate on Friday passed a resolution to create a special committee to investigate allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The resolution, which passed with overwhelming support, calls for the committee to investigate allegations of misconduct and abuse of power by Willis.
The committee will have the authority to subpoena witnesses and documents, and will report its findings to the full Senate.
The allegations against Willis stem from her investigation into former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Willis has been accused of using her office to pressure witnesses and intimidate political opponents.
Willis has denied the allegations, and has said that she is confident that she will be vindicated.
The creation of the special committee is the latest development in a months-long battle between Willis and the Georgia legislature. The legislature has repeatedly tried to pass legislation to limit Willis's authority, but has been unsuccessful so far.
The special committee is likely to issue a report on its findings in the coming months
