Georgia Lawmakers Probe Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ $36.6 Million Budget

Georgia senators expressed concerns over the lack of oversight of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ $36.6 million budget during a hearing on Friday. The hearing was part of an investigation into allegations of potential conflicts of interest and misuse of public funds by Willis. Witnesses testified that Willis has broad discretion over how to spend the funds, including the authority to hire special prosecutors without seeking pre-approval. The findings of the investigation could lead to reforms or adjustments to the state appropriations process to restore public confidence in the district attorney’s office.
