Georgia State Senator Colton Moore sent a letter to governor Brian Kemp requesting an emergency session of the Georgia state legislature to review Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The letter follows Willis’ Monday issuing of former President Donald Trump’s indictment regarding the 2020 presidential election.
“America is under attack,” State Senator Moore wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents.”

The brief letter reads:
We, the undersigned, being duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and comprising 3/5 of each respective house, pursuant to Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b), hereby certify to you, in writing, with a copy to the Secretary of State, that in 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 State Senator will join Timcast’s Josie Glabach, who goes by “The Red Headed Libertarian,” in an X space tonight at 7 p.m. EST.
The former president has been indicted over allegations of violating the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Eighteen others have been charged along with the former President over the RICO Act and other alleged acts to conspire in regards to the 2020 presidential election.
Every individual charged, including Trump, is charged with one count of violating the RICO Act in Fulton County and elsewhere “to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing Donald J Trump to seize the presidential term of office, beginning on January, 2021,” said Willis during a Monday night press conference.
Although many alleged acts to conspire took place in Georgia, the indictment notes some acts occurred in other jurisdictions. The separate alleged acts in other jurisdictions are included in the Fulton County indictment because “the grand jury believes they were part of the illegal effort to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.”
Following the indictment, which is the fourth for the former president since April, Trump took to Truth Social in a series of posts referring to the indictment as a “witch hunt” and “rigged.”
In a Tuesday morning post, the former president announced he would present a report on election fraud next week from New Jersey.
“A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding all charges should be dropped against himself and associates “based on the results” of the upcoming “conclusive” report. “There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election.”
“They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!”
Governor Kemp responded to Trump’s announcement of his report on Presidential Election fraud in the state by declaring, “the 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.”

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… pic.twitter.com/jaru2iBDo7

“Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor,” he said. “The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.”
