Several Republican Georgia state senators filed a petition this week to ask a board to sanction Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after she charged former President Donald Trump and 18 others with racketeering violations.

A law that was signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in May went into effect starting Oct. 1 that created the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission, which can sanction or remove district attorneys over a alleged misconduct or failure to follow state laws. The Republicans asked that board to look into Ms. Willis and see whether she should be sanctioned.
