Georgia's Republican Party is facing infighting over whether to defund Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Georgia Republican House Speaker Jon Burns, in a letter obtained by the Hill, denounced Republicans who were trying to defund Willis over her indictment of Trump, arguing that such a move would be unconstitutional and constitute interference in the criminal justice system.He characterized the attempt “to defund a duly-elected district attorney of this state and her office" as"an attempt to interfere with the criminal justice system.
“It is an unfortunate reality of today’s politics that theatrics sometimes garner more attention than genuine human needs like those that will unfold today in south and coastal Georgia.” “It is unfortunate some would knowingly suggest such a reckless course of action despite the devastating effects it would have,” Burns said.
"We trust that our criminal justice system will deal with this matter impartially and fairly, and we will not improperly intercede in this matter in direct contradiction to the oaths we took,” Burns declared.
