Despite the fact that they've become political foes, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is taking into consideration a request from GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to help investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who's been accused of having an improper relationship with the special prosecutor in Donald Trump's election interference case, Newsweek reported.
Speaking to Newsweek, Kemp said Greene had "every right" to her request and that accusations against Willis are "very troubling."
"Evidence should be presented quickly," Kemp said. "Georgians need to be able to have confidence in this trial and the Georgia General Assembly laid out a specific process to investigate matters such as these. The Congresswoman has every right to refer her complaint to the oversight commission once it commences full operations."

Kemp and Greene had a falling out when the governor rejected Donald Trump's claims of a stolen 2020 election.
Trump co-defendant Michael Roman called for both the special prosecutor Nathan Wade and Willis to be removed from his case after he filed invoices from Wade's office that showed Wade billed Willis' office around $650,000 in legal fees since he was named special prosecutor. Roman also cited sources who say Willis had a romantic relationship with Wade.
Greene says the allegations are part of Willis' "unlawful partisan pattern... to illegally politicize and weaponize her public office to wage lawfare against President Trump for the purpose of interfering in the 2024 presidential election."
