Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' week just got worse after
Georgia state Representative Charlice Byrd introduced a resolution to
impeach the federal prosecutor.
Willis has been making headlines ever since she took up the election
subversion case against former president Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants. In August 2023, the former president and his
co-defendants were indicted in Georgia in connection to allegations
that they conspired to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election
results. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case.
Byrd, a Republican and ally to Trump, shared a statement from
Georgia's House of Representatives on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday.
The statement announces that Bryd introduced impeachment articles
against Willis, "claiming she has used her office not to pursue
justice but for political gain."
The statement frames the Georgia election subversion case as Willis
going after the former president and his alleged co-conspirators "for
their constitutional right to question the integrity of the 2020
election count."
"Willis also has come under scrutiny for possible conflict of interest
in hiring a potential paramour in the case against Trump," the
statement said.
Newsweek reached out to Bryd via online form and Willis via the DA's
email for comment.
The Georgia DA has recently been in the spotlight for an alleged
romantic relationship with a member of her staff. Earlier this month,
a court filing submitted by Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign
staffer and one of the co-defendants in the case, accused Willis of
having an inappropriate romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, one of
her three special prosecutors on the case.
