Georgia DA Fani Willis Fights Senate Subpoena in First-of-its-Kind Constitutional Battle Over Trump Case And Her Secret Relationship With The Head Prosecutor, Nathan Wade

Meanwhile, she did settle with the committee on a separate subpoena demanding documents. But the witness subpoena — the one that could compel her to testify under oath about Wade and the payments — remains unresolved. That unresolved subpoena now sits at the center of this constitutional showdown.

Let’s be clear: the committee isn’t just chasing paperwork. They are asking the Georgia Supreme Court to affirm their authority to compel testimony from a sitting district attorney accused of misconduct. If Willis prevails, future investigations into prosecutors — or any public officials — could be handcuffed by a loophole.

And if the committee is right, Willis faces not just career-ending consequences but possibly criminal exposure. Misusing public funds, concealing conflicts of interest, or misleading the legislature are not mere ethics violations — they carry real penalties.

The optics matter, too. Every time Willis resists testifying, the public perception shifts further against her. Georgians are left asking: what is she afraid of? If her conduct was above board, why fight so hard to avoid the witness chair?
