Channel 2 Action News has learned a potentially explosive hearing has just been scheduled for Monday in the Georgia election indictment case.
It involves the furor over the Fulton County District Attorney’s relationship with a special prosecutor on the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others.
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne spoke exclusively with a man subpoenaed in one of those hearings about why he’s fighting that subpoena.
Gabe Banks said as a former federal prosecutor, Fulton County gang prosecutor and now successful defense attorney, he’s had hundreds of subpoenas sent out to various witnesses for his cases.
But now he’s the target of a subpoena for his testimony at a hearing set for Feb. 15 before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee sparked by defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant’s efforts to have Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, and the whole DA’s office disqualified from the election interference case in part because of an alleged personal relationship between Willis and Wade.
