Is There a Path to Defund or Impeach Georgia's District Attorney Investigating Trump?

Calls to defund or impeach District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia are being met with pushback from top state legislature officials. House Speaker Jon Burns and State Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch both stated that these calls are impossible to accomplish and are simply theatrics. Burns emphasized that defunding or impeaching Willis would harm public safety and cause delays in important prosecutions. Gooch also noted that there is currently no realistic pathway for the legislature to call a special session or gather enough votes in the state Senate to impeach Willis. These responses come after State Senator Colton Moore warned of potential violence by Trump supporters if the prosecution continues, prompting him to call for immediate action. Moore is urging fellow GOP state senators to sign a letter demanding an investigation into Willis' office and has launched an online petition to defund her office. These efforts by Moore have received praise from former President Donald Trump but have not garnered widespread support among GOP lawmakers. Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp expressed that there is currently no evidence warranting action against Willis and emphasized the need to follow the law and the Constitution.
