A Georgia judge has ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can be subpoenaed by state lawmakers regarding her prosecution of Donald Trump. The decision allows the Republican-led special committee to compel Willis to testify under oath about alleged misconduct related to the Trump RICO case. This ruling follows a series of legal challenges faced by Willis, including a default found in an open records lawsuit concerning her communications with the January 6th Committee and the Biden DOJ. The court's decision underscores the ongoing scrutiny of Willis's actions in the high-profile case against Trump, which has drawn significant political attention. The judge emphasized that Willis is subject to legislative subpoenas as part of the investigation into potential misconduct in her handling of the case.
