On Thursday, Georgia State Senator Colton Moore (R) issued a letter to Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) requesting an emergency session in response to the recent indictment of leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The request, which also cc's Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, would be the first step in potentially impeaching Willis for her politicized persecution of Trump. "[I]n our opinion an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section, for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis," the letter reads.
The move comes after Willis officially indicted President Trump and 18 other allies earlier this week for their actions following the 2020 presidential election. Trump specifically was hit with 13 charges including "Violation Of The Georgia Rico (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations) Act," "Solicitation Of Violation Of Oath By Public Officer," "Conspiracy To Commit False Statements and Writings" and "Conspiracy To Commit Forgery in the First Degree," as well as a number of other charges.
“We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis,” State Senator Moore said in a statement, as reported by Breitbart.
“As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis,” he explained. “America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors weaponize their elected offices to politically target their opponents.”
Moore's action is the first step in potentially launching an impeachment if an emergency session were to be called. Under Georgia law, Governor Kemp has the ability to unilaterally call a special session, or the state legislature, with 60 percent support, could also force an emergency session.
Moore has seemed to deploy the latter strategy in an effort to go around Gov. Kemp who has already vocalized his opposition against Trump's attempts to claim voter fraud took place in the state during the 2020 election.
"The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen," Kemp wrote on Tuesday. "For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor."
"The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus," the Georgia governor added.
While Gov. Kemp does not have the authority to remove Willis from office, an authority granted to some governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida, it appears like the legislature will be forced to take action instead. Moore's action is the first and only step in combating Willis' indictment of Trump and his boldness should be noted.
