Leaders of Georgia’s Fulton County say they had no legal power to control District Attorney Fani Willis’ spending or her hiring of former special prosecutor Nathan Wade
Leaders of Georgia's Fulton County testified Friday before a special state Senate committee that they had no legal power to control District Attorney Fani Willis' spending or her hiring of former special prosecutor Nathan Wade. The Republican-led committee is probing Willis' hiring of Wade to lead a team to investigate and ultimately prosecute Donald Trump and 18 others accused illegally trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
I’m sorry that folks get mad when everybody in society can be prosecuted.” Willis is running for reelection this year and faces a Democratic opponent, Christian Wise Smith in a May 21 primary. Early voting for that election is ongoing. But the lawyer who initiated the effort to remove Willis, Ashleigh Merchant, has also claimed that Wade's firing violated a state law that required approval of the hiring of a special prosecutor by the county commission.
