Athens area senator Bill Cowsert, the Republican chairman of a special committee of the Georgia Senate that has been investigating Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, has introduced legislation that would expand the committee’s scope to include former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
If the senate passes SB 292, the committee will have the authority to expand its inquiry to certain Abrams-related groups and determine if “existing state laws, including those establishing processes related to campaign finance and the operation of nonprofit organizations, are inadequate.” Cowsert said he plans to call Abrams to testify after the legislative session ends on April 4.
Democrats say the resolution is just a political stunt.
