The AJC reports the Georgia Supreme Court will consider the long-simmering subpoena fight between a state Senate committee and Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
In a brief, two-page notice, the court’s clerk on Thursday confirmed justices have received the case and could hear oral arguments as soon as October if they’re requested by the parties.
Willis has been fighting for nearly a year about whether the GOP-led panel has the authority to compel her testimony and her office’s production of documents.
Late last year, a Fulton judge ruled the special committee has the authority to subpoena Willis. The DA appealed the ruling. Since the fight involves constitutional issues, it was fast-tracked to the state Supreme Court, and justices were required to take up the issue.
The back-and-forth comes as Willis waits for the state Supreme Court to weigh in on another key matter: whether she can regain control of the election interference case after the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified her and her office from the prosecution late last year.
