Several staff members who serve under Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis r eportedly have come forward in an ongoing Georgia Senate panel investigation into alleged financial misconduct by Atlanta’s top prosecutor amid an ongoing romance scandal.
The state Special Committee on Investigations — comprised of six Republicans and three Democrats — is looking into whether Willis misused public funds through her ongoing relationship with attorney Nathan Wade, whom she hired in 2021 to prosecute Donald Trump on 13 criminal counts for his alleged effort to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election.
“There are whistleblowers inside the Fulton County DA’s office raising complaints and allegations about the misuse of both federal funds and state funds,” said Republican state Sen. Bill Cowsert, the committee chair, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “There are people that have information they want to share with us.”
It is likely that the staff members would testify behind closed doors to maintain their anonymity.
