'This court disagrees': Judge strongly rejects 'absurd' effort by Fani Willis to avoid subpoenas for documents and testimony about Trump RICO prosecution
Story by Colin Kalmbacher • 11h
A court in Georgia shot down a request by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to quash subpoenas issued by state legislators intent on quizzing the prosecutor about her and her office’s efforts to investigate and prosecute President Donald Trump.
Peach State Sen. Bill Cowsert, a Republican who represents the college town of Athens, is the chair of the Senate Special Committee on Investigations. That committee has been looking into Willis for years. Since the summer of 2024, Cowsert has been intent on getting Willis to talk under oath about her long-frustrated Trump crusade.
Willis has resisted those efforts at every turn.
Now, a court has rejected the prosecutor’s latest argument by finding it would set an “absurd” precedent for investigations conducted by state legislators going forward. And, in a twofold blow, the judge cast doubt on efforts by Willis to limit the scope of the subpoenas.
The focus of the committee’s investigation is how Willis spent public funds on her failed racketeering (RICO) and election interference investigation into the 45th and 47th president — and whether any funds earmarked for other purposes were improperly diverted.
