I interviewed everybody at the D.A.\u2019s office. And I interviewed other people to come and work at the district attorney\u2019s office. And as I told you, I did that on my free time before I became D.A., but I had no way of knowing that these criminals were going to commit a crime. You all want to intimidate people from doing the right thing, and you think that you\u2019re going to intimidate me. But you see, I\u2019m not Marjorie Taylor Greene. I ain\u2019t going to quit in a month because somebody threatens me.\u201d \u201cMr. Peter Skandalakis, as head of PAC, continued the investigation after you were disqualified. He concluded the investigation did not further warrant further action.\u201d \u201cMr. Skandalakis has never read our entire file when he just dismissed this case. There is no way that he read the entire file. You want something to investigate as a legislature? Investigate how many times they\u2019ve called me the N-word. Why don\u2019t you investigate that? Why don\u2019t you investigate them writing on my house? Why don\u2019t you investigate the fact that my house has been SWATted? If you want something to do with your time that makes sense. And you can use all this in your campaign ad \u2014 you attacked Fani Willis. What have you done, sir? Nothing.\u201d \u201cBased on the indictment, that the goal was \u2014 the ultimate goal was to overthrow the 2020 election.\u201d \u201cThat was the ultimate goal. And we\u2019ve had people that are supposed to be leaders that instead of being leaders, are just cowering down. This country needs leaders, not cowards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-hple31\">The Atlanta-area district attorney called President Trump and his allies \u201ccriminals\u201d while being questioned by a Georgia Senate committee on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By Meg Felling<\/p>\n<p>December 17, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: Fani Willis Defends Failed Election Interference Case in Heated Hearing transcript Back transcript Fani Willis Defends Failed Election Interference Case in Heated Hearing The Atlanta-area district attorney called President Trump and his allies \u201ccriminals\u201d while being questioned by a Georgia Senate committee on Wednesday. \u201cAre you ready to tell them what they<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[1844,2086,4668,4051,20879,452,10828,13578,3040],"class_list":{"0":"post-37958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-social-issues","8":"tag-case","9":"tag-defends","10":"tag-election","11":"tag-failed","12":"tag-fani","13":"tag-hearing","14":"tag-heated","15":"tag-interference","16":"tag-willis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
