Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis has been crisscrossing the country to attend fundraising events for her reelection campaign with Democratic allies in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and beyond.
Earlier this month, Willis traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend his own “2024 Re-Election Fundraising Reception” on September 13.
“All contributions up to $3,300 are appreciated,” the invitation said.
Willis also led a panel in Washington, D.C., during the annual Congressional Black Caucus weekend with Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, where they discussed ways to “fight back against MAGA.”
Last week, Willis continued his fundraising campaign and held another “Re-election Fundraising Reception” in Los Angeles on September 17.

This event elicited different levels of contributions.
“Team Fani” donors were asked for $101; “Allied” donors were asked for $250; “Partner” donors were asked for $500; and “Supporters” donors were asked for $1,000, with maximum requested contributions of $3,300.
Willis had been subpoenaed on September 13 to testify before the Georgia State Senate Special Investigations Committee.
That committee was holding a hearing as part of its investigation into allegations that Willis had profited from the prosecution of former President Donald Trump and had conspired with Democratic officials to bring charges against the former president.

The subpoena required Willis to testify and also provide documents related to the investigation and her relationship with former special counsel Nathan Wade. Willis allegedly had an “inappropriate affair” with Wade, whom she hired to help her build the case against Trump. Wade later resigned from his position.
Willis filed an emergency motion to stop the subpoena compelling her to testify before the Georgia State Senate committee.
However, a Fulton County judge denied his motion.

There were more fundraising events for Willis in Houston on Friday and Sunday.
“Instead of doing her job, Fani Willis is traveling across America raising money and hobnobbing with her radical cronies in California and Washington, abandoning the families of Fulton County and her oath to uphold the law,” Greater Georgia Chairwoman and former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler told Fox News Digital.
“Time and time again, she puts her economic and political interests ahead of defending our citizens,” Loeffler said. “No amount of Democratic state money can hide the fact that she is only fighting for herself.”

Loeffler launched Greater Georgia 2021. It is the only organization in the state working to unseat Willis before the Nov. 5 election.
The conservative advocacy group launched a $100,000 ad campaign against Willis earlier this month, aimed at exposing his “failures” ahead of Election Day.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee dismissed two criminal charges in Willis’ 2020 Georgia election interference case against Trump, ruling that Georgia prosecutors lacked authority to bring the charges related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court.
Earlier this year, McAffee dismissed six other charges against Trump, saying Willis did not present enough details.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

In June, the Georgia Court of Appeals stayed proceedings until it hears the case to disqualify Willis in October.

The Georgia Court of Appeals said it would hear Trump's argument to disqualify Willis on Dec. 5, a month after the 2024 presidential election.
However, in a separate decision earlier this month, McAfee upheld the racketeering charge in the case, which has been filed against all defendants.
