John Floyd, III testifies on Feb. 16 in Fulton County (Law&Crime Network)

Former Georgia governor Roy Barnes was called by the state to testify during a hearing late Friday morning in the racketeering (RICO) and election interference case against Donald Trump and others.

The last Democrat to hold the office in the Peach State, Barnes testified he was asked by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in 2021 to serve as the special prosecutor overseeing the case.

Barnes, who described himself as a trial lawyer whose work only entails trying cases, said he was not prepared to take the cut in pay that would have been concomitant with accepting the appointment.

“I had mouths to feed at a law office,” Barnes told the prosecution. “And that I could not — I would not do that.”
