Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is now at the center of an escalating
legal conflict after a Georgia judge ruled in favor of Judicial Watch, a conservative
watchdog organization, in a lawsuit seeking access to her office’s communications with Special Counsel
Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. Judge Robert McBurney of the Fulton County Superior Court
made the decision following Willis’s office’s failure to timely respond to Judicial Watch’s open records request.
The court issued a default judgment against Willis, compelling her to comply with
Georgia’s open records laws and provide the requested documents within five business days
