FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The Fulton County Board of Commissioners
approved its 2024 fiscal year budget on Wednesday, but much of the
meeting was spent discussing funding for the Office of District
Attorney Fani Willis.
Many of the residents who spoke during the public input portion
called for an investigation into how Fulton County District Attorney
Fani Willis has used county funds as part of her investigation into
the Georgia election interference case involving former President
Donald Trump and co-defendants.
"It is clear we have abuse in the DA’s office," said one resident.
How much did DA Fani Willis spend in 2023?
In the approved budget, funding for the DA's office is marked at
just over $36.6 million. That comes at about $200,000 lower than
what the DA’s office actually spent in 2023.
Commissioner Dana Barrett commented that the criminal justice sector
needs more funding, and public scandals should not impact those
decisions.
"There’s headlines right now, and there’s all this salacious stuff
going around and a lot of conversations about the DA … and over the
past year, the sheriff and the jail," exclaimed Barrett. "We’d be
remiss if we use our budget as a means of punishment."

Meanwhile, Commissioner Bob Ellis is focusing on past funds. He sent
a letter to Willis demanding transparency on how she spent county
funds while prosecuting Trump. Specifically, he narrowed in on
Willis’ alleged romantic relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan
Wade.
"These were fairly straightforward requests which any elected
official who is entrusted with public funds should supply that
information back," said Ellis.
Ellis, a Republican, says the inquiry into Willis, who is a
Democrat, is non-partisan.
"We’re talking about numbers, we’re talking about dollars, we’re
talking about facts," said Ellis. "We’re not talking partisan, we’re
not talking race. We’re talking about the citizens' money and
whether it is being used in the way it was intended."
