Some Georgia lawmakers want the state Senate to open up an investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ handling of the election interference case.
But Gov. Brian Kemp spoke exclusively with Channel 2′s Richard Elliot and said he thinks there’s a better way to move forward.
Lawmakers are already tweaking the Prosecutor Oversite Committee law rejected by the Georgia Supreme Court last year.
But a new attempt by Cumming lawmaker Greg Dolezal would allow the Senate to open up a full-scale investigation into Willis.
A Cobb County judge ruled on Monday that Willis doesn’t have to testify, for now, in the divorce case involving her special prosecutor Nathan Wade, where she is alleged to have had an inappropriate relationship with him.
Now, Dolezal is pushing to create a Senate investigative committee to look into allegations of misconduct against Willis.
“There’s obviously been a lot of questions around the selection of the staff that was working on that case. Why they were selected, potential misuse of funds, at least a potential conflict of interest,” Dolezal said.
