Fani Willis Challenges Subpoena, Skips Georgia Senate Hearing

The Fulton County DA disputes the validity of subpoenas related to her prosecution of Trump, amid allegations of misconduct.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis did not attend a Georgia Senate committee hearing on alleged misconduct, citing ongoing legal challenges to the subpoenas issued to her.
The Republican-led committee is investigating Willis' handling of the prosecution against former President Donald Trump and others for their attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Allegations include a purported conflict of interest due to Willis' past romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who led the Trump case until stepping aside.
Willis' legal team argues the subpoenas are overly broad, violate legislative powers, and seek confidential information, requesting a judge to declare them void and to issue a temporary restraining order.
The committee plans to enforce the subpoenas and has hired outside legal counsel, while Democrats on the panel claim the investigation is politically motivated to benefit Trump.
