A change in Fulton County Board of Ethics policy could open Willis up to new complaints.
A change in Fulton County Board of Ethics policy could expose District Attorney Fani Willis to new complaints.Willis has faced increasing scrutiny from her Republican critics as she leads the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, who's charged in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia and has repeatedly claimed the vote was stolen from him via widespread election fraud despite a lack of evidence.
The amendment refines the definition of an employee of the count to include 'any elected or appointed official whose department or agency is appropriated funds from the county,' which would include Willis' office.The policies, however, are not retroactive, Fulton County Board of Commissioners' Bob Ellis told Rough Draft Atlanta, meaning the ethics board will not necessarily hear the prior complaints raised against Willis.
