Georgia Judge Allows Subpoena of Fani Willis Over Trump Case Misconduct Inquiry

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faces legislative scrutiny after a court ruled lawmakers can compel her testimony and documents regarding her handling of the Trump election case.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram ruled that Georgia lawmakers can subpoena District Attorney Fani Willis for testimony and documents related to her prosecution of Donald Trump.
The ruling stems from a Republican-led state Senate committee investigating allegations of misconduct by Willis, including claims of conflicts of interest and improper public statements.
Willis plans to appeal the decision, arguing that the subpoenas are overly broad and lack a legitimate legislative purpose.
Earlier this month, an appeals court disqualified Willis and her office from prosecuting the Trump election interference case, citing an appearance of impropriety due to her past romantic relationship with a special prosecutor on the case.
The current Georgia legislative term ends on January 13, 2025, but Republican lawmakers intend to re-establish the investigative committee in the next session to continue their inquiry.
