Fani Willis Hit With Calls For Her Arrest After Stunning Move

Georgia lawmakers investigating potential abuse of power by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are calling for her arrest after the Trump prosecutor ignored their latest legal order.

The probe into Willis began last year when Governor Brian Kemp renewed a commission charged with providing oversight of state prosecutors and removing them from office if any is found to have violated their oath to faithfully execute their duties. Critics of Kemp and the Republican-led state legislature have decried the move as retaliatory against Willis for her ongoing election interference case against former President Donald Trump. But Willis threw herself into hot water last week when she failed to honor a subpoena to testify about her case. Instead, she sent two of her top deputies who spoke about the need for prosecutorial independence and insisted that the case against the former president is not politically motivated.

Newsweek reported that the Georgia Senate’s Special Committee on Investigations is investigating Willis over “allegations of misconduct…relating to potential conflicts of interest and misuse of public funds, to enact new or amend existing laws and/or change state appropriations to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system.” The State Senate committee ordered Willis to sit for “sworn testimony,” but she defied that order, instead traveling to Washington, D.C. for a fundraiser. Now a court battle will begin to determine whether Willis was legally justified in ignoring the request.
