FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The state Senate Special Committee on Investigations convened its inaugural session Friday to probe allegations of misconduct against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has faced criticism for her intimate relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was hired to lead the investigation into the Georgia 2020 election interference case.
Sen. Bill Cowsert (R-Athens) emphasized the committee's commitment to truth-seeking rather than a political witch hunt, stating, "This is not a political witch hunt; this is a quest for the truth."
As the meeting commenced, Cowsert dropped a bombshell, revealing that multiple whistleblowers within the Fulton County DA's office have expressed eagerness to testify. They allege misuse of federal and state funds, further escalating the scrutiny surrounding Willis.
