Fani Willis Defies Subpoena From State Investigative Committee To Attend Black Caucus Event In DC

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis defied a subpoena Friday issued by a Georgia state senate committee investigating her alleged misconduct.

Rather than testify before the committee, Willis is scheduled to attend the annual legislative conference for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, D.C. An agenda for the Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations hearing stated Willis would provide “sworn testimony,” but state Republican Sen. Bill Cowsert began the meeting by announcing Willis would not appear.

“I’m truly honored to be invited to join a panel discussion alongside Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee and Dr. Frederick Haynes, III,” Willis wrote Thursday night on LinkedIn. “This conversation will be hosted by the incomparable Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and moderated by the brilliant Angela Rye, during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference.”

Willis is expected to fight the subpoena in court, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“First of all, I don’t even think they have the authority to subpoena me, but they need to learn the law,” Willis said in May, according
