Georgia State Senator Colton Moore has called for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney prosecuting former president Trump for allegedly tampering with the state’s 2020 presidential election results.
In a letter to Gov. Brian Kemp (R), Moore said the Georgia Legislature can convene a special session as 3/5 of both chambers have signed on to the effort.
“We, the undersigned, being duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and comprising 3/5 of each respective house, pursuant to Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b), hereby certify to you, in writing, with a copy to the Secretary of State, that in our opinion an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section, for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis,” Moore wrote.
A probe into Willis’s prosecution of Trump could lead to the impeachment of the district attorney, Breitbart reported.
“We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis,” Moore, vice chairman of Georgia Freedom Caucus, said in a statement.
“America is under attack,” Moore wrote on X. “I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents.”

The indictment levied by Willis includes: violating the Georgia RICO Act; Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings; Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Filing False Documents; and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.
Earlier this week, Trump announced that he would share an “irrefutable” report on Monday proving there was enough fraud in the state to change the outcome of the election.
The Republican 2024 presidential frontrunner faces up to 76.5 years in state prison if convicted on all of the charges in the Georgia indictment.
“I’m sick and tired of these weak so-called leaders telling us to sit down and be quiet,” Moore stated in a video posted on social media late Thursday afternoon. “We have to take action.”
I launched the process to investigate Fani Willis for targeting Donald Trump.
No more empty promises.
No more talking in circles.
The time for action is NOW!
We must defund her office… and if appropriate… IMPEACH.
