Georgia State Senator Colton Moore has taken the first step towards impeaching Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who recently indicted 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump on 13 counts.
In a letter sent to Governor Brian Kemp, Moore called for an emergency session to investigate Willis' actions.
"We, the undersigned, being the duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and comprising 3/5 of each respective house, pursuant to Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b), hereby certify to you, in writing, with a copy to the Secretary of State, that in our opinion an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section, for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis," the letter stated.
Under Georgia law, an emergency legislative special session can be called by the governor or if 3/5 of both legislative chambers sign onto a letter demanding it. Moore's statement emphasized the need to strip all funding from Willis and, if appropriate, proceed with impeachment.
"As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis," Moore declared.
"America is under attack. Im not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors weaponize their elected offices to politically target their opponents."
The indictment against Trump, along with 18 others, includes charges such as violation of the Georgia RICO Act, solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, forgery in the first degree, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, criminal attempt to commit filing false documents, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, criminal attempt to commit influencing witnesses, influencing witnesses, conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit computer theft, conspiracy to commit computer trespass, conspiracy to commit computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, and perjury.
The indictment alleges that Trump and others "unlawfully conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia, and elsewhere." This marks the fourth indictment against the GOP frontrunner this year. Willis has requested that the trial begin on March 4, 2024, just one week before the Georgia primary election.
