GOP lawmaker seeks to defund DA Fani Willis’s office over Trump indictment.

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Andy Biggs⁣ Files Bill to Withhold Federal Funds‌ from Fulton County⁤ District Attorney’s ‌Office

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump was arraigned ⁤on 13 felony charges,⁢ including racketeering,⁤ in Fulton County, Georgia. In response, Rep. Andy Biggs‌ (R-AZ), a staunch Trump supporter, has filed a bill to prohibit ⁢any federal funds⁢ from going to the Fulton⁤ County District Attorney’s Office.

Targeting‌ Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis

Since⁣ the indictment, Fulton ‍County District Attorney Fani Willis has faced scrutiny from Republicans. The House Judiciary Committee has even opened an investigation into her ​office. This has raised questions about the future of Trump’s ‍legal battles and the potential ⁤consequences for Willis.

The ‍Withholding Investments from Lawless Litigators in States Act (WILLIS Act)

Rep.⁢ Biggs has named the legislation⁢ the WILLIS Act. This bill aims to ensure that no federal funds are awarded‌ or ⁤made available to the Fulton County ⁣District Attorney’s Office. It ‌also seeks⁤ to rescind any unobligated balances and require reimbursement of all amounts expended by⁢ the office since January 1, 2021.

A Blatant Attack on American Freedoms

In a statement, Rep. Biggs criticized the indictments, calling them weak and ridiculous. He argued that Trump and the⁤ other defendants were being targeted‍ for mundane activities such as sending a text message or reserving a conference room. Biggs sees ⁢this as a blatant attack ⁢on American freedoms and believes that the‍ federal⁤ government ‍should not fund corrupt district attorney offices.

However, the bill⁣ faces an uphill battle. ⁢Even​ if it passes the House, the Democratic-controlled Senate is unlikely to support it. Additionally, President Joe Biden⁣ would likely veto the legislation if it reaches his desk.
