  • A judge is weighing whether a Georgia state Senate committee has the right to subpoena testimony and documents from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as it looks into whether she has engaged in misconduct during her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump.

The article discusses a legal proceeding where a judge is considering whether to compel Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to comply with subpoenas issued by Republican lawmakers. These subpoenas are related to Willis's investigation into former President Donald Trump's alleged interference in the 2020 election in Georgia. The lawmakers, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, are seeking documents and communications concerning Willis's use of federal funds and her interactions with the Justice Department. Willis has resisted these subpoenas, arguing they interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. The judge's decision could impact the balance of power between state prosecutors and federal oversight, potentially setting a precedent for how such investigations are conducted and scrutinized.
