Willis was subpoenaed to discuss her prosecution of former President donald Trump and others in a case alleging election fraud. Although she tried to block the subpoena in court,she was unsuccessful. The hearing is set for November 13, with Willis’s counsel agreeing to appear under certain conditions regarding the scope and format of questioning.

Fani Willis to appear before Georgia Senate committee in November
(The Center Square) – Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will appear before Georgia’s Special Senate Committee on Investigations, the committee’s chairman said Friday.
The committee subpoenaed Willis to testify about her prosecution of President Donald Trump and others in a case accusing them of election fraud. Willis has fought the subpoena but has lost in court.
Chairman Bill Cowsert (R-Athens) confirmed with attorney Josh Belinfante that Willis could appear on Nov. 13.
“Her counsel has indicated that she is available on that date and will honor the subpoena subject to certain limitations in the scope of questioning,” Cowsert said. “And I think they also wanted to make clear that only the chair or the minority leader would be posting the questions. Of course, that’s our rules anyway.”
Cowsert said the committee may hold one more meeting in October to hear from state ethics officials, adding he wanted to have a report ready before the next session of the General Assembly.
