Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is rejecting calls to discipline or remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from her position following the fourth indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Willis, a Democrat and the first Black woman to serve in the position, has become a lightning rod for attacks by supporters of Trump, who was indicted by grand jury along with 18 others in a case Willis brought alleging a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
As long as I’m governor, we are going to follow the law and the Constitution regardless of who it helps politically," Kemp said during a press conference Thursday.
The governor said calling a special session of the Georgia legislature to remove Willis from her position, which some Trump-aligned legislators have demanded, is not feasible and "may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional."
