GA Senate committee hears testimony on DA Fani Willis
Georgia Senate Republicans laid out a roadmap on Wednesday of their investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
They homed in on the Democrats prior romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a private attorney she hired to oversee the election interference case involving former President Donald Trump, as well as the way he was hired and billed for his work.
Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Trump co-defendant Michael Roman in the election case, testified under oath for more than three hours before a newly created investigative committee about her ongoing efforts to remove Willis from the prosecution in Fulton Superior Court.
State Sen. Bill Cowsert, an Athens Republican and attorney who is leading the Special Committee on Investigations, asked Merchant questions for nearly the entire hearing. Senate Democratic Whip Harold Jones was given about 30 minutes to question Merchant at the end of the meeting.
