The Senate Special Committee on Investigations, chaired by Sen. Bill Cowsert (R–Athens), will hold its sixth hearing on Friday, September 13, at 10:00 a.m. The event will take place at the State Capitol in Atlanta and is open to the public. The committee meeting will also be live-streamed on the Senate website.

The meeting will feature sworn testimony from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, former Secretary of the Senate David Cook, and Georgia General Assembly Legislative Counsel Stuart Morelli. The committee aims to investigate allegations of misconduct by District Attorney Willis concerning potential conflicts of interest and misuse of public funds. The investigation seeks to enact new or amend existing laws and potentially change state appropriations to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system.

Following the adjournment of the committee, there will be a press gaggle. Media members are requested to confirm their attendance in advance by contacting Jantz Womack at the Senate Press Office via email.

Sen. Bill Cowsert represents the 46th Senate District, which includes Oconee County and portions of Barrow, Clarke, Gwinnett, and Walton Counties. He can be reached at 404-463-1366 or bill.cowsert@senate.ga.gov.
