The House Judiciary Committee is slamming Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her decision to prevent her assistant prosecutor from testifying due to concerns that it would "force him to improperly divulge confidential information that is protected by privileges." The clash comes in the context of the investigation on whether former President Donald Trump sought to interfere with the presidential elections in Georgia in 2020.
Concretely, Willis says that Nathan Wade being subpoenaed could also force him to violate "State Bar of Georgia rules that govern conduct of attorneys." Consequently, she informed House Chair Jim Jordan that Wade "has been instructed not to answer any questions that seek to solicit information about his role or underlying evidence in the Office's investigation of unlawful efforts to interfere with the 2020 presidential elections in Georgia."
