The district attorney's responses were prompted by the committee chairman, Republican Bill Cowsert, and his reported claim that he would subpoena her if she did not appear on her own.
A Republican-led Georgia Senate investigative committee was established in January to investigate whether Willis misused taxpayer funds in her indictment of former President Trump and others on racketeering charges.

Fox News Digital's inquiries to the DA's office and the Georgia Senate press office for Cowsert did not immediately receive a response.
Trump was initially indicted in the Fulton County case in August 2023 alongside 18 others under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for their alleged actions in a scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Earlier this year, it was discovered that Willis had a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired to take on the case. Ultimately, Wade resigned from the case after the judge determined there were no grounds to disqualify Willis, but that she could only remain on the case without Wade.
Trump's legal team has since moved to appeal the judge's ruling that she could stay on the case.
