FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The chairman of Georgia's Senate Committee on
Transportation and Chief Deputy Whip Sen. Greg Dolezal (R-Cumming)
has reportedly introduced legislation to establish the Senate
Special Committee on Investigations to look into the allegations of
misconduct involving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

One of the co-defendants in Fulton County's election interference
case against former President Donald Trump, former White House aide
Michael Roman, asked a judge on Jan. 8 to dismiss his indictment and
disqualify Willis from further alleging that Willis had a "romantic
relationship" with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The motion also accuses Willis and Wade of "profiting significantly
from this prosecution at the expense of taxpayers."

Roman's attorneys claim that Willis and Wade traveled together on
cruises and to places like California and the Caribbean and are
"believed to have co-habited in some form or fashion."

The attorneys also claim that Willis was not authorized to retain
Wade and said he had a "lack of relevant experience" prosecuting
felony trials.

Since the filing on Jan. 8, Wade's soon-to-be ex-wife, Joycelyn
Wade, has sought to force Willis to testify in the divorce case
between herself and Nathan Wade. However, a judge ruled earlier
today that Willis could not be forced to testify until Wade has
given his testimony.

"Today, in response to a wave of concerning reports and court
filings regarding District Attorney Fani Willis of the Atlanta
Judicial Circuit, I am calling for the establishment of the Senate
Special Committee on Investigations. The multitude of accusations
surrounding Ms. Willis, spanning from allegations of prosecutorial
misconduct to questions about the use of public funds and
accusations of an unprofessional relationship, underscores the
urgency for a thorough and impartial examination. We owe it to the
public to ensure transparency, accountability and the preservation
of the integrity of our justice system," Dolezal said in a press
release.

According to Dolezal, the proposed legislation seeks to establish
the Senate Special Committee on Investigations, comprising nine
members, with three representatives from the Minority Party. The
Committee will be assigned to conduct a legislative investigation
and will have the power to administer oaths, to call any party to
testify under oath at such investigations, among other
responsibilities.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing on Feb. 15
to discuss the allegations of an improper relationship between
Willis and Wade.

Neither Willis nor Wade have confirmed a relationship beyond
professional. Willis defended Wade during a speech at Big Bethel AME
Church at a service a day before the holiday honor the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. Although she never mentioned him by name, she called
him a "superstar, a great friend and great lawyer."

Willis has been the district attorney for Fulton County since 2020
after spending 16 years as a prosecutor in the district attorney's
office. She is known for successfully using Georgia's RICO
(Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) statue to
prosecute non-mobsters. She launched the criminal investigation into
Trump's alleged attempts to influence Georgia election officials in
2021. A grand jury handed down indictments against Trump and 18 co-
defendants on Aug. 14, 2023. Willis plans to bring Trump and the
remaining co-defendants (4 have accepted plea deals) to trial in
August of this year.

The U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary also announced an
investigation into Willis on Jan. 12.
