NEW: DA Fani Willis says she will not testify before the Republican-led Georgia senate investigative committee: “I will not appear to anything that is unlawful,” adding. “I’m sorry that folks get pissed off that everybody gets treated evenly.”@FOX5Atlanta pic.twitter.com/VAy3ZDm55a

Just got off the phone with Sen. Coswert, the Republican committee chair. He maintains he has statutory power to subpoena Willis, and if she refuses to show she could be held in contempt: “I sure hope it doesn’t get to that”
In the words of @AnthonyMKreis: Cue the litigation.

Lt Gov Burt Jones, also a figure in the election interference case, just sent this statement out following our report on @FOX5Atlanta.
Worth noting a judge disqualified Willis from including Jones in her case because she had fundraised for his opponent. pic.twitter.com/ph4YFlzBRm
