ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would revive a new commission that some Democrats say is aimed at disrupting Fulton County District Fani Willis' prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
“This has never been about the district attorney from Fulton County,” Robertson said on the Senate floor.
However, the panel was unable to begin operating after the state Supreme Court in November refused to approve rules governing its conduct.
Robertson's bill and a separate bill approved by the Georgia House of Representatives remove the requirement that the state Supreme Court approve the rules.
The state Senate voted for the change 29-22, mostly along party lines.
