DOJ Subpoenas Georgia DA Fani Willis Travel Records

The U.S. Justice Department has issued a federal grand jury subpoena seeking travel records tied to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, reportedly focusing on international trips around the fall 2024 election. The inquiry is being run out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia under Theodore S. Hertzberg, but grand jury secrecy leaves the scope unclear and it is not known whether Willis is a target or could face charges. Willis was disqualified from the 2023 Trump election-interference prosecution amid revelations of a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, and the Georgia Supreme Court recently declined to reinstate her. Willis’s office says it has “no knowledge of any investigation,” and DOJ officials have not commented. The development, reported after the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and amid President Trump’s calls to pursue political opponents, has prompted political scrutiny and concerns from legal observers that the probe may be unusually expansive.
