Georgia Governor Brian Kemp dismissed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s request to criminally investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for corruption, advising Greene to refer her complaint to the state’s oversight committee.
Kemp’s decision allows Willis to continue prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
Greene’s allegations against Willis and her top prosecutor, Nathan Wade, include an improper relationship and potential coordination with the Biden administration.
Kemp encouraged Greene to use the state’s oversight process for district attorneys, emphasizing the need for transparency and unbiased handling.

“The Congresswoman has every right to refer her complaint to the oversight commission once the legislative process concludes this session and the commission begins full operations,” a Kemp spokesperson stated.
“Just last year, the Georgia General Assembly laid out a specific oversight process for district attorneys that is transparent and unbiased, which the governor supported and signed into law.”
“These allegations are deeply troubling and evidence should be presented quickly,” the spokesperson added.
“Georgians must have confidence in our legal system and its procedures, and these allegations — in addition to the lack of direct response from District Attorney Willis — jeopardize that confidence.”
Greene and allies criticized Kemp’s decision, stressing the urgency of the matter and the impact on Trump and other codefendants.
They called for Kemp and the state Attorney General to launch a criminal investigation into Willis and Wade.
“Governor Kemp and our state Attorney General Chris Carr need to step in and do the job that they have the power to do, and that is to launch a criminal investigation into Willis and Nathan Wade,” Greene said.
“What I’m focused on is the fact that I believe our governor and our state attorney general should use their power,” she added. “They have the power to go after a state district attorney who is abusing her power to go after the former president of the United States.”
“These people are being drained of money while they’re having to pay lawyers. They have incredible stress in their lives and their families’ lives,” she said. “This is affecting real people in Georgia.”
