A Georgia judge has ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to testify under oath regarding allegations of misconduct in her racketeering (RICO) case against President Donald Trump.
The ruling comes after months of legal maneuvering and efforts by Willis to avoid answering questions before a state senate committee investigating her actions.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram denied Willis’ attempt to block a subpoena from the Georgia State Senate Committee on Tuesday.

The ruling compels Willis to appear and provide testimony about her handling of the Trump case, including her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Last week, the Republican-led state senate committee reissued its subpoena after Willis failed to comply with previous demands for testimony and documents.
For months Fani Willis fought our lawful subpoena to testify under oath to our Investigations Committee. Yesterday, the judge again agreed with us and DENIED Willis’ motion to quash our subpoena.
No one is above the law.

The investigation stems from allegations that Willis had an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, the prosecutor she hired to lead the Trump case.
During a February 2024 court hearing, Willis testified under oath that her relationship with Wade had ended months earlier.
The state senate committee has been seeking documents related to Wade’s hiring, his compensation, and any communications between Willis and Wade.
Additionally, lawmakers have requested records detailing Willis’ office’s interactions with the Biden White House and the Department of Justice regarding Trump’s prosecution.
Willis previously refused to appear before the committee, skipping a hearing in September despite receiving a subpoena.

“Let’s please note for the record that Ms. Willis has failed to appear in compliance with the subpoena and has failed to produce documents requested,” committee chairman Senator Bill Cowsert stated at the time.
Cowsert also announced that the committee had hired outside legal counsel to enforce the subpoena, signaling lawmakers’ determination to hold Willis accountable.
Following her refusal to appear, Willis’ legal team filed a motion to have the subpoenas declared void.
Her attorneys argued that the committee lacked authority to compel her testimony.
However, the court rejected that argument, allowing the investigation to proceed.
In a separate legal blow to Willis, the Georgia Appeals Court ruled in November that she and her office were disqualified from prosecuting Trump in the RICO case.
The court cited an “appearance of impropriety” as the basis for the disqualification.
With the state senate committee now moving forward, Willis faces increasing scrutiny over her handling of the case and her personal conduct.
The upcoming testimony could provide new revelations about her relationship with Wade and potential coordination between her office and federal officials regarding Trump’s prosecution.

One day these morons will find themselves in jail for believing they are above the law.
What’s good for the geese, is good for the gander. She caused irreparable damage to Trumps election, bringing charges that should not have been brought. She needs to account for her obvious bias especially in disrupting and possible election interference that should be easy to prove.
