As Georgia’s legislative session continues, business leaders gathered at the annual Eggs & Issues breakfast to hear from Governor Brian Kemp, Lt. Governor Burt Jones, and House Speaker Jon Burns. Politically Georgia’s Greg Bluestein checks in with hosts Bill Nigut and Patricia Murphy with highlights from the event and the key priorities lawmakers are setting this year.
Meanwhile, the Georgia Senate has voted to extend the special committee investigating Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her handling of the Trump election interference case. AJC senior reporter Tamar Hallerman explains the latest developments in this ongoing conflict.
Plus, we’ll dive into special counsel Jack Smith’s claim that Donald Trump would have been convicted of election interference if not for his victory, and why former Congressman Doug Collins’s cabinet confirmation hearing is on hold.
