Overview
- Committee leaders say Willis will testify under oath at the State Capitol at 10 a.m., with a new subpoena to be issued for her appearance.
- The Senate panel, created in January 2024, is probing alleged misconduct tied to Willis’ hiring of special prosecutor Nathan Wade during the Georgia election case.
- Courts removed Willis from leading the prosecution for an appearance of impropriety, and the state Supreme Court declined to hear her disqualification appeal last month.
- A trial judge ruled the committee can compel her testimony, and the state Supreme Court has scheduled arguments next month on her appeal of that subpoena ruling.
- Chairman Bill Cowsert says the goal is to clarify ethical standards for prosecutors, Democrats label the probe political theater, and questioning will be limited to Cowsert and Minority Leader Harold Jones II; separate reporting says DOJ subpoenaed Willis’ travel records around the 2024 election.
