Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ use of funds came under the microscope at a Georgia state Senate Special Committee hearing Friday.
Republican Sen. Bill Cowsert asked financial officers about numerous “enhancement requests” for extra money Willis has made, including one for roughly a million dollars in 2023 for general trial expenses.
Fulton County Chief Financial Officer Sharon Whittmore said the amount was made as a “lump sum, not specific with line item details,” to explain what it would be used for, according to the Washington Examiner.
Cowsert said he was trying to “get a feeling for exactly how much oversight,” there was in the office, adding it “sounds like it’s very loose as far as employment practices and expenditures for independent contractors.”
He was likely referring to Nathan Wade, who Willis brought on as prosecutor in the county’s election fraud prosecution against Donald Trump and 18 others in 2021.
It later emerged Wade and Willis had been in a romantic relationship, and a judge ruled one had to step down from the case, resulting in Wade quitting.
“That’s solely the prerogative of the District Attorney,” Pitts told members of the committee.
“We don’t get into that sort of detail.”
Whitmore testified that the county commission reviews and votes on the district attorney’s annual general fund budget request, the Rome-News Tribune reports.
Willis received $36.6 million from the general fund for the current fiscal year, she said.

Trump needs to sue HER water buffalo ass.
HOW DARE YOU !!!!
She thought that prosecuting our President would forever secure her as a hero to the left and she would be celebrated wherever she went for the rest of her life.
F that fat B.
I hope she is dragged through the mud for the rest of her nasty life. Obnoxious, pompous, arrogant, angry - she and her paid for boy toy made the entire legal system of Georgia look like a bunch of inbred, unsophisticated, uneducated idiots who were merely given diplomas depending on the amount of melanin they have.
Trump needs to appoint an attorney general who will prosecute her ghettopotamus ass.
She was put up for this train wreck by Biden. I’m betting she’s looking for something with the DOJ, maybe promised something if she does a good job.
Even if she did get a job with the DOJ, it wouldn’t take long to find out how crappy a lawyer she is.
Yep.
Yep. She owes the system a little time in prison making little rocks out of big rocks.
Too damn bad. Not the least bit sorry or concerned about your fate.
“made the entire legal system of Georgia look like a bunch of inbred, unsophisticated, uneducated idiots who were merely given diplomas depending on the amount of melanin they have.”
Guess what? Every non Democrat in the USA already thinks that
This is some Shakespearian splendor.

Well, if she’s sentenced to that, the hard work would probably make her fat heart explode.
Is there a downside?
If opposing parties were to play the lawfare game...
It would be great if conservatives played the long game with charges that were real and result in jail time. Unlike disrupting opponents with false charges.
Hold these ugly people accountable under the law.
Willis received $36.6 million from the general fund for the current fiscal year.
As she calls it vacation money.
Not really....
No surprise. Many democrats in office lie, cheat, and steal taxpayer funds.
We only know about a fraction of the corruption. It’s downright despicable what has become of this once great country.
