Georgia Republicans are calling for an emergency legislative session to review the latest indictment against former President Donald Trump.
State Senator Colton Moore asked Governor Brian Kemp in a Thursday letter to call for a special session, urging him to bring Georgia legislators back to the state Capitol to investigate the Trump charges brought on by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Both Moore and Kemp are Republicans. Willis is a Democrat.
Citing the state constitution, Moore told Kemp that “an emergency exists in the in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under [Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b)], for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis.”
“As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis,” Moore said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, announcing his request. “America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents.”
Georgia passed a law back in May specifically allowing for the removal of DAs.

Ostensibly, it’s to be used on prosecutors who are failing to do their jobs. For example, one Georgia DA refuses to prosecute marijuana charges.
I predicted that the instant she filed charges, there would be a move to remove her and I hate being right. :(
