A Fulton County ethics board meeting that was set to address complaints against District Attorney Fani Willis has been canceled due to a lack of jurisdiction. The complaints stemmed from allegations made by a co-defendant of former President Trump in a Georgia election interference case, claiming that Willis had an improper relationship with special counsel Nathan Wade, whom she hired to prosecute Trump.
Chairman Daraka Satcher announced during the meeting that the board does not have jurisdiction over Willis as she is a state constitutional officer, not a county official. The Fulton County Code of Ethics only applies to county officers and employees, making the Georgia State Ethics Commission the appropriate body to review the complaints against Willis.
