Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) must return from Davos, Switzerland and begin a criminal investigation into corruption charges against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R). , Georgia) spoke exclusively to Breitbart News about deceiving the Republican governor. “Washing” your hands of 2024 election interference.
Kemp on Thursday rejected Greene's appeal to have Willis' accusations against Trump dismissed, telling Breitbart News exclusively that Greene should “refer the complaint” to a state oversight board. Ta.
The state oversight board, which is effectively functioning, would function more like a disciplinary board with the power to remove county prosecutors from office. Like all commissions, it moves very slowly at a time when defendants are spending large sums of money on their defense.
“I think the governor and the attorney general should use their power to go after district attorneys who abuse their power and go after a former president of the United States,” Greene said. “This is a situation where washing your hands is unacceptable,” Green said of Kemp. “I'm not the only one saying this.”

Mr. Greene acknowledged that while the committee's proceedings are generally a good idea, any delay against Mr. Willis would harm Mr. Trump and his co-defendants. “They were planning to create an oversight committee, but they were blocked in court, and now they're trying to create a new oversight committee in the state Legislature,” Green said.
One of Greene's main concerns is that Willis' prosecution of Trump will affect the entire conservative establishment of his co-defendants. “These people are having their money siphoned off while they have to pay their lawyers. They have incredible stress on their lives and the lives of their families,” she continued. “This is impacting real people in Georgia.”
“Governor Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr need to step in and do the job they are authorized to do, which is to open a criminal investigation into Willis and Nathan Wade,” Green said. repeated. “They have the power to go after state district attorneys who are abusing their power to go after former presidents of the United States.”
Kemp, who vacationed in Davos with the world's elite on Tuesday, told Breitbart News that the allegations against Willis are serious and “jeopardize” faith in the state's legal system. A spokesperson for Kemp told Breitbart News that “lawmakers will have the right to refer their complaints to the Oversight Committee once the legislative process concludes this session and the committees become fully operational.” he said.
“Georgians should have confidence in our legal system and processes, and these allegations, along with the lack of a direct response from District Attorney Willis, put that trust at risk,” the spokesperson said. Ta.
