Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced a setback when a judge denied her emergency request to block subpoenas from the Georgia Senate Committee on Special Investigations, which seeks her testimony and documents related to her ongoing probe into 2020 election interference. Judge Shukura Ingram ruled that Willis's arguments about the subpoenas imposing an undue burden on her office were not sufficient, noting that the committee had not yet enforced the subpoenas. Willis has previously stated she does not recognize the committee's authority, particularly in relation to her prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The judge emphasized that the proper legal recourse for challenging a subpoena is to file a motion to quash, rather than seeking an emergency injunction. If the committee attempts to enforce the subpoena, Willis may then challenge it formally in court. Failure to comply with the subpoena could result in contempt charges against Willis.
