Fulton DA Fani Willis Agrees Testify Under Oath to Georgia Senate Committee

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has agreed to testify under oath before a special Georgia Senate committee investigating her handling of the election interference case against President Donald Trump. The committee, chaired by Republican Sen. Bill Cowsert, has been pursuing Willis for over a year to discuss her office's use of public funds and her efforts against Trump, particularly regarding the failed racketeering (RICO) investigation. Willis previously resisted subpoenas and was disqualified from parts of the Trump case due to a conflict of interest related to a romantic relationship with a special prosecutor. The agreement to testify includes limitations on the scope of questioning, with Cowsert emphasizing that Willis cannot act as an obstructionist or imply that laws do not apply to her. The committee aims to gather information not to persecute Willis but to seek her advice on potential legislation addressing prosecutorial misconduct. The testimony is expected to take place on November 13, 2025, marking an end to a prolonged stalemate between Willis and the Republican-led investigation.
