In August, 2023, Dixon announced that he would use a newly passed Georgia law to attempt to remove Fani Willis from office. Willis is the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, and she issued 41 felony charges in the Prosecution of Donald Trump in Georgia. In a statement, Dixon said, "Once the Prosecutorial Oversight Committee is appointed in October, we can have them investigate and take action against Fani Willis and her efforts that weaponize the justice system against political opponents". He accused Willis of having an "unabashed goal to become some sort of leftist celebrity."[3]
On November 22, 2023, the Supreme Court of Georgia did not approve rules of the above referenced oversight commission, "In an unsigned order, justices said they have 'grave doubts' about their ability to regulate the duties of district attorneys beyond the practice of law. They said that because lawmakers hadn’t expressly ordered justices to act, they were refusing to rule one way or the other."[4]
