BREAKING: Georgia Court Orders Fani Willis to Disclose ALL Communications With Special Counsel Jack Smith,January 6th Committee

Fulton County DA Fani Willis just got benched by a Georgia judge.

Why?

For messing up an Open Records Act request.

Judicial Watch caught her claiming she had no communications with Jack Smith or the January 6 Committee.

Well , surprise! She did.

Judge McBurney slapped her with a default judgment for a no-show in court.

Fani was also ordered her to hand over the requested docs within five business days.

Now, Willis must also cover Judicial Watch’s legal fees.

Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton chimes in, pointing out this courtroom no-show was a first in his 26 years at J.W.

Fox News reports:

A Georgia judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Williams to hand over records related to her communications with special counsel Jack Smith and the U.S. House January 6 Committee after failing to comply with a request under the Open Records Act (ORA).

The nonprofit group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against Willis in March after her office claimed it did not have any documents and communications on file between Willis and Smith or Willis and the January 6th Committee.

But it turned out her office did have communications, and on Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered Willis to produce them within five business days. McBurney also determined in his ruling that Willis violated Georgia’s open records act by failing to respond to Judicial Watch’s lawsuit.

McBurney granted judgment by default after the DA did not make any ‘meritorious defense.’ Instead, Willis claimed she was not served properly.

“Plaintiff is thus entitled to judgment by default as if every item and paragraph of the complaint were supported by proper and sufficient evidence,” McBurney wrote in his decision, while also ordering her to pay Judicial Watch’s attorney’s fees. “Here, this means Plaintiff has established that Defendant violated the ORA by failing to either turn over responsive records or else notify Plaintiff of her decision to withhold some or all such records.”

A hearing on the attorney’s fees and costs is set to take place on Dec. 20, 2024 at 10 a.m.

“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. “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.”
