Georgia’s top cop offered choice words for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Wills after her actions got her bumped over “lawfare” against President-elect Donald Trump.
Since the revelations of her personal relationship with since withdrawn Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, a downhill trend continued for Willis in her efforts to prosecute the GOP leader for alleged election interference.
As the DA looked to the state Supreme Court following her disqualification by the appellate court, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr encouraged the jurists to disregard her appeal to let her live with the consequences of having “created her own conflict.”
In a statement posted on X Monday, Carr, who’d set his sights on the 2026 gubernatorial race, asserted, “The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump. ‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.”
“As such, I would encourage the Georgia Supreme Court to not take her appeal. It’s our hope that the DA will now focus taxpayer resources on the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton Country,” he added.

High-ranking GOP officials throughout the Peach State were in accord with the AG as Gov. Brian Kemp was among those publicly reacting, posting on X, “Agreed, @Georgia_AG! Georgians deserve safe communities and partisan politics out of our courtrooms.”
Though the sentiment was agreed upon, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who in the past had signaled a potential bid for a promotion, drew a dichotomy between himself and Carr as he expressed, “I have said for years that Fani Willis orchestrated a political charade against President Trump. When he had opportunities to lead, our Attorney General was missing in action. Where he failed, the Georgia Senate won’t. We look forward to holding her accountable at a future hearing.”

To Jones’ point, Georgia state Sen. Greg Dolezal (R) reacted to the ruling that Georgia lawmakers could subpoena Willis, “We’ll see you soon, Madam D.A.”
Of course, Willis had her own remarks as the case against Trump continued to slip out of her grasp. As reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the DA had contended, “If Mr. Carr cannot separate his ambition to become Governor from his duties as Attorney General, he should resign and focus on being a full-time candidate rather than serving as a constitutional officer sworn to uphold the Constitutions and laws of the United States and Georgia.”
The suggestion that Carr should be the one to resign in light of all that had been revealed regarding Willis, Wade, and the case against Trump had the president-elect’s defense attorney Steve Sadow adding his own harsh words for the district attorney.
“DA Willis’ knee-jerk response to AG Carr’s powerful statement is vintage Willis. She pays her hand-picked, prosecutor-lover nearly a million dollars, attempts to conceal her intimate relationship from the citizens of GA until exposed in a motion, blatantly attempts to paint the accused as racists in a speech in an historic Atlanta Black church upon being exposed, and her overall conduct and testimony in court give rise to the trial judge finding an ‘odor of mendacity,’ but she wants AG Carr to resign for telling the truth,” he wrote Monday. “SIMPLY DUMBFOUNDING!”

Sadow went on to assert that discretionary review was only granted by the state Supreme Court “in cases of great concern, gravity, or importance to the public” and as such, Rule 40 was not satisfied by the determination of the appellate court wherein “the trial court factually found a ‘significant appearance of impropriety,’ but abused its discretion by failing to disqualify Wade AND DA Willis.”
