Fani Willis ordered to turn over communication with Special Counsel Jack Smith, J6 Committee



Fani [aka Fanny] Willis is to the American justice system as Al Sharpton is to Reverends.

A Georgia Superior Court on Tuesday found Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in default for not providing records requested by Judicial Watch related to her communications with Special Counsel jack "Get Trump" Smith's office or those regarding the J6 rally.

Judicial Watch (JW) sued Willis under the Open Records Act (ORA) and the court granted the default judgment motion JW filed.

The motion said the lawsuit against Willis was filed in March 2024, but by May, when Judicial Watch asked the court for a default judgment, Willis still hadn't responded. She was supposed to file an answer within 30 days of being served, which was on March 11. Although the proof of service was filed just two days after that, it didn't show up in the court's online records. Because of this, the court thought Willis hadn't been served yet, so in April, they ordered Judicial Watch to serve her again. Judicial Watch then resubmitted the proof that Willis was indeed served on March 11 (Post Millennial).

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must forfeit any and all communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and House Democrats' Jan. 6 Committee, a state judge ruled on Tuesday.


In his six-page order, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Willis is "in default" for failing to file court documents responding to a legal challenge brought by Judicial Watch.

The conservative watchdog group filed a lawsuit against Willis in March after the Democrat district attorney denied having any of the records the group sought in an August 2023 open records request. That request aimed to obtain communications between her office and the special counsel and/or the Jan. 6 Committee.

“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 statement. “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.”

Now let's hurry up and wait to see what will transpire. Many people think Willis needs to go.
