In a bold move against alleged misuse of taxpayer funds for political purposes, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has introduced a new bill aimed at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Dubbed the "Against Federal Funds for Allowing Inappropriate Relationships Act" or the AFFAIR Act, this legislation signals Mills' determination to address the issue head-on.
Mills minced no words, expressing concerns about the purportedly inappropriate relationship between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade. He highlighted potential conflicts of interest and suggested violations of bias against political opponents, framing the situation as an ethical dilemma.

The AFFAIR Act seeks to restrict the allocation of federal funds to any state or local chief prosecutor if anyone in their office has been convicted of corruption or unlawful activities. Mills asserts that taxpayers should not foot the bill for misconduct or impropriety within law enforcement agencies.
Predictably, Fani Willis is pushing back against attempts to remove her from prosecuting the case against former President Donald Trump. She is resisting subpoenas and seeking to dismiss allegations of misusing county and federal funds, demonstrating a reluctance to step down from her position.
In addition to introducing the bill, Mills has taken further action by reaching out to the Georgia State Bar to investigate potential violations of professional conduct and criminal acts by Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. He did not shy away from condemning their alleged misconduct as "grotesque," signaling his commitment to holding them accountable.
It's a sobering reminder that misuse of taxpayer funds and disregard for legal standards have serious consequences. With the introduction of the AFFAIR Act, Rep. Mills aims to address these issues and ensure accountability within law enforcement agencies.
