The Georgia Court of Appeals on Wednesday issued a decision pausing Fulton County Fani Willis’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump while he appeals a decision on her disqualification from the case
The Senate committee chairman, Republican state Sen. Bill Cowsert, told a local Fox station in an interview that his committee has the power to make her testify, adding that she could be held in contempt if she doesn’t cooperate.
