After previous attempts to bring Fani Willis before a special state Senate committee formed to investigate her failed, the committee chairman said Friday that he expects the Fulton County district attorney to appear for questioning next month.

State senators in January 2024 created the committee to look into allegations of “various forms of misconduct” against Willis with regard to her prosecution against President Donald Trump and others over efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. Even before Trump embarked on a retribution campaign against his enemies, Republicans on the Georgia committee were eager to bring Willis in for questioning.
