    The daughter of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was arrested last month for allegedly driving with a suspended license, according to a report in Georgia.

    Kinaya Willis, 25, was pulled over in Tyrone, Ga., on Aug. 24 for driving while using a cellphone when police discovered she also had a revoked license, according to an incident report obtained by the Daily Mail.

    The Texas Southern University student, whose mom is leading the prosecution of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 Georgia election interference case, is reportedly pregnant.

    She told an officer that she had been using her cellphone “due to her mother calling her related to her pregnancy,” the report notes.

    Kinaya claimed she was “unaware” that her license had been revoked since May 13, also for allegedly driving while it was suspended.

    After Kinaya was arrested, her mother swung by the scene to secure her daughter’s 2010 Nissan Altima.

    “Willis’s mother later arrived on scene to take possession of her vehicle,” the report states.

    Kinaya was booked at the Fayette County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of driving with a revoked or suspended license.

    She also had her mugshot taken at the facility, which is a 30-minute drive south of her mom’s Atlanta office, before being released.

    Kinaya has an Oct. 24 arraignment scheduled in the Tyrone Municipal Court and faces a minimum of two days in jail, a $500 fine and a six-month extension of the suspension if convicted, according to the outlet.

    The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

    Willis’ sprawling racketeering case against Trump has been on pause since June, while the Georgia Court of Appeals weighs the former president’s effort to disqualify the 52-year-old district attorney.

    Trump and eight of his co-defendants had asked the Georgia appeals court in March to hear their arguments accusing Willis of prosecutorial misconduct over her relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

    Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee had previously ruled that the embattled DA could remain on the case as long as Wade, her former lover, stepped down — which he subsequently did .

    Trump’s appeal seeks to have McAfee’s decision overturned before his case heads to trial.

    The appeals court is expected to hear arguments in the disqualification effort in December — well after the Nov. 5 presidential election.

    Willis has also faced multiple investigations launched by state and federal lawmakers over her alleged misuse of taxpayer money and relationship with Wade since securing the grand jury indictment against Trump and 18 others last August.

    Trump, 78, and his 13 remaining co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to felony charges accusing them of breaking Georgia’s anti-racketeering law in an alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election results in the Peach State.
