Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis suggested she will not testify before the Georgia Senate committee investigating her after the panel threatened to subpoena her, prompting Georgia’s lieutenant governor to respond.

During a news conference earlier this week, Ms. Willis was asked whether she'll testify before the committee. The district attorney became a national figure after she initiated her case against former President Donald Trump, accusing him and more than a dozen others of participating in a scheme to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the county.
