Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) said Monday that she would not be testifying before a Republican-led Georgia state Senate panel investigating her.
At an event where she earned the endorsement of many local Black religious leaders, Willis said the committee investigating her may not have the authority to subpoena her.
“First of all, I don’t think they even had the authority to subpoena me, but they need to learn the law,” she said, reported by Fox 5.
She continued, saying she would not appear for anything unlawful because she had “not broken the law.”
“I’ve said it amongst these leaders; I’m sorry folks get pissed off that everybody gets treated equally,” Willis said.
Willis, who is conducting a historic indictment of former President Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, has also made headlines for her personal relationship.
Months of controversy have disrupted Willis’s original case, after it was made public that she had a romantic relationship with someone she hired for the case.
A judge ruled in March that she could continue the prosecution, if she or special prosecutor Nathan Wade stepped down, which he ultimately did.
Now, the state Senate is looking to investigate whether Willis and Wade used taxpayer dollars during their relationship.
