Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may find herself out of a job, after a Georgia lawmaker filed a resolution Friday to impeach her for various acts of "Malfeasance, tyrannical partiality, and oppression," after allegations emerged that the Special Prosecutor she hired to go after Donald Trump turned out to be her lover, who she paid almost $700,000 - before he dropped thousands of dollars to take her on lavish vacations.
"Fani Willis has a laundry list of potential conflicts that make her unworthy and unfit to be the District Attorney in Fulton Count," said state Rep. Charlice Byrd in a Jan. 26 statement accompanying the introduction of H.R. 872, a resolution to vote on impeachment charges against Willis.
The impeachment resolution comes on the same day that the Georgia State Senate voted to establish a committee that will investigate various allegations of misconduct against Ms. Willis, ranging from accusations of prosecutorial misconduct to questions about the use of public funds and allegations of an unprofessional relationship with the lead prosecutor in the case.
Ms. Willis' office did not respond to a request for comment on the impeachment resolution by press time.
The impeachment resolution accuses Ms. Willis of having committed "Acts of malfeasance, tyrannical partiality, and oppression" in the "Wrongful" indictment of President Trump and his 18 co-defendants.
Ms. Byrd's impeachment resolution also accuses Ms. Willis of engaging in an "Inappropriate" and "Unethical" relationship with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade while alleging that she profited from the relationship.
Nineteen of the impeachment charges are allegations that Ms. Willis' prosecution of President Trump and the 18 other co-defendants under Georgia's organized crime laws was done for the purpose of advancing her political career and so "Grossly violates" her oath of office.
