“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.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s campaign\u00a0set its sights on Willis as a public target after his indictment Monday night, saying her family is “steeped in hate” while drawing attention to her father’s Black Panther ties.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

After the charges came down, Trump’s campaign emailed supporters about the Georgia prosecutor. The message included quotes from a 2021 Time magazine article and the Fulton County government website.<\/p>\n

The campaign wrote<\/u><\/a> that Willis comes from a “family steeped in hate” and is the “daughter of a former Black Panther” before referencing the Time magazine piece.<\/p>\n

Willis’ office declined to comment when reached by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
