Overview
- Willis ended a yearlong subpoena fight and appeared before the Republican-led Special Committee on Investigations, where senators briefly cut her microphone as exchanges grew heated.
- Questioned about pre‑office discussions with Nathan Wade, Willis called it a “dumbass question” and argued she could not have anticipated crimes before taking office.
- Lawmakers displayed Wade’s billing records and pressed Willis on payments; she said she does not review those invoices, defended Wade’s work, and cited threats, racist vandalism, and swatting incidents.
- The committee cannot sanction Willis or revive the now‑defunct prosecution; it will issue findings and could propose legislation on hiring and compensation of special prosecutors.
- Willis was removed from the election‑interference case for an appearance of impropriety, a successor prosecutor later abandoned the RICO charges, and a Fulton County judge dismissed the case on Nov. 26, 2025, as Democrats label the inquiry political and several GOP members run for statewide office.
