Georgia Senate Republicans filed a formal complaint to punish Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after she sought charges against former President Donald Trump under a new law aimed at sanctioning rogue prosecutors.
The complaint contends Willis “improperly cherry-picked cases to further her personal political agenda” and asks the newly formed Prosecuting Attorneys Qualification Commission to initiate an investigation and take “appropriate measures” to sanction her.
The Republicans don’t specifically mention Trump in the complaint, but they sought to link a spate of deaths in the Fulton County Jail to Willis’ decision to “impanel a special grand jury to investigate her political adversaries” amid a yearslong backlog of cases.
Willis, who has criticized the law as racist and retaliatory, declined to comment. Senate Republicans recently launched a probe into dangerous conditions at the Fulton County jail.
