A judge overseeing the Fulton County grand jury probe into the 2020 election and former President Donald Trump criticized local District Attorney Fani Willis Thursday for partaking in a fundraiser against an individual she is investigating.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney issued a rebuke of Willis during a hearing because she took part in a fundraiser for Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Charlie Bailey last month. Bailey is facing off against Republican candidate Burt Jones, who was informed by the Fulton County DA’s office that he’s being investigated as part of their probe.
