“We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis,” Moore said in a statement.
“As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis,” he said. “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.”

"No more talk. I have a job to do, it's time to take action...As a red-blooded American you should never fear a Gestapo political tactic from a power like a DA," he said.
"That's our job as a legislature, to put a check and balance on this judicial branch," he continued.

"In May, Governor Kemp signed a new law that allows for the impeachment of a state district attorney if they are believed to not be adequately enforcing the law," Trending Politics reported.
"Originally seen as a thinly-veiled attempt to prevent Democratic prosecutors from failing to prosecute individuals who pursue abortion under the state’s no-exceptions law, the measure may now be considered for the removal of Willis, who has charged President Trump and 18 others under criminal statutes normally reserved for mobsters," it added.
Willis has suggested a court date just eight days ahead of the primary in Georgia, drawing even more attention to the political nature of the indictment.
The latest move adds to other indictments against Trump in Washington over Jan. 6, 2021, and for classified documents allegedly found in his Mar-a-Lago home last year.
The legal actions continue to pile up against Trump as he seeks his return to the White House in 2024 in a potential rematch against President Joe Biden.
