A Georgia judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to turn over to a conservative watchdog group any communications she may have with special counsel Jack Smith or the now-disbanded House Jan. 6 committee. Judicial Watch filed a suit in March after Willis said she does not have responsive records to the request — the same thing she had told House Republican investigators seeking details about her election interference case brought against President-elect Trump. On Monday, Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney ordered Willis to turn over any records, saying she violated the law by failing to properly respond to Judicial Watch’s suit. Willis had claimed she was not properly served, but McBurney wrote that despite confusion on the court docket initially, the prosecutor “never offered up a meritorious defense.” She is ordered to produce any relevant records and pay attorney fees. The suit from Judicial Watch essentially picks up the work of the House Judiciary Committee, which sent letters to both Willis and Smith demanding they turn over all records of their prosecution and whether they had communicated about the case. Willis denied any coordination in her own correspondence with Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), which accused him of improperly interfering with her prosecution of Trump. “Your attempt to invoke congressional authority to intrude upon and interfere with an active criminal case in Georgia is flagrantly at odds with the Constitution,” Willis wrote last year. Judicial Watch filed the suit, asserting Willis’s claims to have no records coordinating with Smith were “likely false.”
