After more than a year of legal arguments, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is set to appear before a special Georgia Senate committee examining her prosecution of President Trump on Wednesday.
Lawmakers created the Senate Special Committee on Investigations in January 2024 to look into allegations of “various forms of misconduct” against Willis concerning her prosecution against Mr. Trump and others over efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.
Willis has resisted attempts to compel her to testify and did not show up last year when subpoenaed. Her attorneys argued that the 2024 panel lacked the constitutional authority to force her to appear. The legal battle over a previous judge’s decision on the subpoena is still in the court system.
This year, the Senate committee issued a new subpoena after legislators passed a law explicitly laying out their subpoena powers. Willis agreed to appear under the new subpoena.
