The Georgia Legislature could investigate and possibly impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who this week secured a grand juryâs racketeering indictment against former President Donald Trump and allies who helped Trump challenge the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia.Â
State Sen. Colton Moore, a Republican, said Willis engaged in âpolitical persecutionâ of Trump and asked Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, to call a special legislative session to begin an investigation. Willis is an elected Democrat.
âAs a Georgia state senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis. America is under attack,â Moore tweeted. âIâm not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents.â
The Hill reported that Moore also wants to investigate Willisâ conduct because of poor conditions in the Fulton County Jail brought to light by the left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union, as well as what was considered the controversial prosecution of rapper Young Thug.
âThe Legislature has this great check and balance when it comes to controlling the purse. Ultimately, from what Iâve seen, I think she should completely be defunded of any state dollars,â Moore told The Hill. âPeople in northwest Georgia and Georgians all over donât want their tax dollars going to fund this type of political persecution.âÂ
Moore added of Willis: âIf it turns out that sheâs doing some corrupt things, then absolutely impeach her.â
Named as co-conspirators with Trump in the Fulton County racketeering indictment are former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and lawyers John Eastman and Sidney Powell as well as other former Trump attorneys.Â
