Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Aug. 31 rejected a plea from state Republicans to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after former President Donald Trump’s indictment for alleged election interference.

The Republican governor, who has sometimes been at odds with President Trump, stated that he wouldn’t hold a special legislative session to oust Ms. Willis. The governor said an attempt to impeach Ms. Willis isn’t feasible and “may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional.”
