"Georgia Senate Empowers Panel to Investigate District Attorney Fani Willis Amid Trump Case Pressure"

The Georgia state Senate has voted to create a special committee with subpoena power to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a move criticized by Democrats as a partisan attempt to cater to Trump and his supporters. The committee aims to determine whether Willis misspent state tax money in her prosecution of former President Donald Trump and others. The investigation comes amid allegations of an inappropriate romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, with Republicans accusing Willis of a "prosecution for personal profit scheme." The new panel would have the authority to issue subpoenas and require people to testify under oath, and its creation has sparked political tensions ahead of the upcoming elections.
