Georgia committee that has pursued Fani Willis now wants to investigate Stacey Abrams

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia state Senate committee pursuing a thus-far fruitless investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to add Stacey Abrams to its list of targets.

Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and other Republicans say they want to further examine recent ethics findings that voter participation group New Georgia Project improperly coordinated with Abrams’ 2018 campaign for governor. They also want to probe claims by new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin that $2 billion was improperly given to a coalition of groups trying to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Abrams worked with one of the groups until the end of last year.

“Don’t you think that, that deserves looking into, because I do,” Jones told reporters Friday, after a resolution to allow the expansion was introduced in the Senate.

Abrams said in a statement that Republicans are targeting her because they don’t like her.
