The Georgia State Senate special committee investigating Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is set to hold its fifth meeting into allegations of misconduct during her prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
The committee, chaired by Republican state Sen. Bill Cowsert, was established to probe potential conflicts of interest and allegations that Willis' office misused federal and state grants. The findings of this investigation will inform legislative actions, including the enactment or amendment of laws and adjustments to state appropriations, aimed at restoring public confidence as deemed necessary.
On Friday, the committee is expected to hear testimony from Griffin Judicial Circuit District Attorney Marie Broder, Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit District Attorney T. Wright Barksdale III, and Republican state Rep. Mesha Mainor.
Willis has previously said she would not appear before the Republican-led committee, telling FOX 5's Rob DiRienzo that Cowsert couldn't subpoena her.
"I will not appear to anything that is unlawful, and I have not broken the law," she said. "I’ve said it amongst these leaders, I’m sorry folks get pissed off that everybody gets treated equally."
Willis decisively won her primary election in May and will face Republican challenger Courtney Kramer in the general election in November.
