The state Senate Republican Caucus has suspended a North Georgia lawmaker who recently called to defund the Fulton County district attorney in response to her indictment of former President Donald Trump and berated his colleagues for not following suit.

The announcement came shortly after state Sen. Colton Moore, R-Trenton, issued a news release saying he had been removed from the caucus. Moore did not respond to a request for comment.

Moore, 29, a first-term senator, made national headlines last month when he called for the convening of a special session of the legislature to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

In his release, Moore maintained that a special session to investigate Willis was possible.
