Fani Willis flouts subpoena for testimony in Georgia Senate probe over allegations of misconduct
NY Post ^ | 9/13/24 | Victor Nava

Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Friday refused to comply with a subpoena for testimony and documents related to allegations of misconduct in her handling of the 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

The Georgia state Senate Special Committee issued the subpoena last month as part of an investigation into the 52-year-old district attorney’s alleged misuse of taxpayer money and potential conflicts of interest during her romance with former Trump special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Willis contends that the panel’s subpoena power is “unlawful,” and has indicated that she will refuse to cooperate in the probe.

“I would ask the doorman, please check the hall to see if [Willis] has appeared before we adjourn,” state Sen. Bill Cowsert (R–Athens), the chairman of the panel, asked as the hearing concluded.

“Ms. Willis has failed to appear in compliance with the subpoena and has failed to produce documents requested by the subpoena,” Cowsert said, after the doorman indicated that Willis was not waiting in the hallway.

Before the hearing wrapped, Cowsert noted that the committee had hired outside legal counsel “to assist us in our legal enforcement efforts of our subpoena.”

Willis is challenging the legality of the subpoena, but her effort to quash the summons has yet to be heard in court.

When you climb the ladder of success using the color of your skin instead of hard work, ability, and dedication, you develop a sense of entitlement.

It's like owing your success to nepotism, title, or family position. When you unconsciously know you didn't earn it, you have to compensate by creating an excuse (like, "I'm entitled).

Fani Willis is the kind of person who, when bothered by someone says, "Don't you know who I am?"
