Fani To Be Slapped With Subpoenas After Court Rules Lawmakers Can Demand Answers
[ZERO] Lawmakers in Georgia have been granted the authority to serve subpoenas on Fulton County DA Fani Willis as part of an inquiry into her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump.In a Monday ruling revealed later in the week, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram allowed the Georgia Senate to compel Willis's testimony - giving her until Jan. 13 to argue that the lawmakers' demands are overly broad, or seek confidential information. Willis plans to appeal the ruling, the Epoch Times reports. "We believe the ruling is wrong and will appeal," said Willis's attorney, former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes. Earlier this year, a state Senate committee was formed over allegations of misconduct by Willis during her prosecution of Trump and his co-defendants (one of whom revealed that Fani hired her lover to help with her prosecution). In August, the committee subpoenaed Willis, who then skipped a September hearing, delaying the inquiry. Her attorney argued that the committee's subpoenas are overly broad and lack legitimate legislative purpose - and that they seek confidential information. Republican state Senator Greg Dolezal applauded the ruling. Posted by: Besoeker 2024-12-29 |
