Georgia lawmakers have stated that they think Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is 'above the law' after she defied subpoenas in a subpoena fight, leaving an arrest as an option to enforce compliance, according to a subcommittee and its attorney during a hearing on Wednesday. The lawmakers emphasized their determination to get the information requested from her office, with some even hinting at more extreme measures if necessary. Willis has been accused of flouting subpoenas issued by state investigators seeking documents related to Georgia's 2020 election.
