Georgia Lawmakers Push Controversial Bill to Oversee State Prosecutors

Georgia lawmakers have passed a bill to revive a panel that can punish or remove elected prosecutors, potentially impacting Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the corruption case against Trump and his allies. The bill, which omits language requiring approval by the Georgia supreme court, has drawn criticism from district attorneys who argue it could be used to politically target progressive prosecutors. Separately, the Georgia senate has created a special committee to investigate claims against Willis's office, but it cannot directly punish her.
