"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.

"House Rules Committee Considers Formalizing Biden Impeachment Inquiry Amidst Criticism and Concerns"

The House Rules Committee is set to consider a resolution that would formalize the impeachment inquiry against President Biden. If passed, a full House vote could take place as soon as Wednesday. The inquiry, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, aims to investigate foreign money received by the Biden family, President Biden's involvement in his family's foreign business dealings, and alleged attempts to impede the investigation into Hunter Biden. The resolution would strengthen subpoena power for the committees, potentially forcing individuals like Hunter Biden to comply with subpoenas. The top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, has been meeting with Republicans to counter GOP arguments and evidence collected during the investigation. The White House has criticized the inquiry, while President Biden maintains he has never been in business with his son.

The commission aims to complete its work within six months and plans to operate with maximum transparency. The findings could potentially lead to legislative efforts, although it remains uncertain if they will be addressed in the upcoming session. The commission appointed staff members, including an executive director and investigators, and funding will come from legal settlements collected by the attorney general's office.
