Chalk up another big loss for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. She just keeps asking for trouble and making things worse for herself.
She has now been ordered to turn over all communications she may have had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House Jan. 6 Committee.

Fulton County, Ga., Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Willis – the last person still prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump – violated open-records laws when she failed to respond to an August 2023 request filed in Fulton County by Judicial Watch, the group said.
The accountability group had filed a lawsuit in March after it sought the communications between the Democratic prosecutor’s office and the special counsel, as well as the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riots and was rebuffed.
The judge found she had defaulted and ordered her to respond with the records within five business days. He also granted Judicial Watch attorneys’ fees.
Judicial Watch was astounded by Willis’ failure to respond and explained why they were trying to get the records.
“Fani Willis is something else. We’ve been doing this work for 30 years, and this is the first time in our experience a government official has been found in default for not showing up in court to answer an open records lawsuit.,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a press release.
“Judicial Watch looks forward to getting any documents from the Fani Willis operation about collusion with the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi’s Congress on her unprecedented and compromised ‘get-Trump’ prosecution.”
