Georgia Court Orders DA Fani Willis to Disclose Trump Case Records

A Georgia state court has ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to provide detailed information about her searches for Trump-related records in her RICO prosecution of President Donald Trump, including whether the devices of former Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade and Chief Investigator Michael L. Hill were searched. This order follows a public records lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch and an investigation by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan into possible coordination between Willis’ office and federal officials, including Special Counsel Jack Smith. Willis’ office initially denied having responsive records but later produced 212 pages of documents after multiple searches, though questions remain about the thoroughness and transparency of these searches. The court rejected Willis' broad claims of attorney work product protection but upheld a narrower exemption for pending investigations, requiring Willis to clarify her search protocols and potentially conduct new searches if gaps are found. Judicial Watch was awarded attorney fees after Willis’ office missed a court-ordered deadline, highlighting ongoing legal pressure for transparency. The developments underline continuing scrutiny of Willis’ investigation and alleged coordination with federal authorities in the high-profile case against President Trump and his associates.
