Fulton DA Fani Willis to testify before GOP Senate probe into her Trump election case handling, following court-ordered compliance.

Fani Willis, Fulton County’s district attorney, is set to testify before a Republican-led Georgia state Senate committee investigating her handling of the Trump election interference case. The probe focuses on her hiring of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she was romantically linked to, leading to her removal over an “appearance of impropriety.” The case was dismissed after she was removed, and the committee, which cannot bring charges, aims to examine her office’s conduct and finances. Willis had previously refused to appear, citing jurisdictional concerns, but agreed to testify after a court ruled she must comply. The inquiry, seen by critics as politically motivated, involves lawmakers running for statewide office in 2026.
