Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) has recentIy dismissed a request from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for a criminaI investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and Greene is now doubling down on her calls for action.
Greene’s complaint, which also targeted Willis’ top prose cutor Nathan Wade, centers on an alleged improper relationship between the two and their meeting with the Biden administration before indicting former President Donald Trump.
Kemp directed Greene to refer her complaint to the state’s oversight committee. A Kemp spokesperson stated, The Congresswoman has every right to refer her compIaint to the oversight commission once the legislative process concludes this session and the commission begins full operations, as reported by Breitbart.
Just last year, the Georgia General Assembly laid out a specific oversight process for district attorneys that is transparent and unbiased, which the governor supported and signed into law, the spokesperson finished.
Greene, in her push for accountabiIity, has expressed her frustration with the pace of the commission process and called for immediate action.
In a statement to Breitbart News, she called for the need of a more direct approach: Governor Kemp and our state Attorney General Chris Carr need to step in and do the job that they have the power to do, and that is to launch a criminaI investigation into Willis and Nathan Wade.
What I’m focused on is the fact that I believe our governor and our state attorney general should use their power. They have the power to go after a state district attorney who is abusing her power to go after the former president of the United States, she continued.
