The Georgia Senate voted on Friday to form a special committee to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis amid allegations she had an “unprofessional relationship” with a subordinate lawyer prosecuting the election-fraud case against former president Donald Trump.
Thirty senators voted to form the investigative committee, while 19 were opposed, according to a Fox News report.
Willis is leading the prosecution of the 2020 election-fraud case against Trump and 18 other defendants in Georgia. In August, she indicted Trump and 18 other defendants under Georgia’s version of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute, or RICO, for their alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
The special committee will have subpoena power to investigate Willis over various allegations of misconduct, including claims she hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade to work on the case even though the two were romantically involved. The nine-member committee will include at least three Democrats.
