Overview

• NBC News confirmed the Justice Department issued a federal grand jury subpoena after the New York Times first reported it.
• The subpoena seeks records on international trips Willis may have taken in the fall of 2024, around the time of last year’s election.
• The inquiry is being run out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia under Theodore S. Hertzberg, and both that office and DOJ declined comment.
• It remains unknown whether Willis is a subject of the probe or could face charges, and grand jury proceedings are secret by law.
• Willis brought the 2023 racketeering case against President Trump in Georgia but was later disqualified; the Georgia Supreme Court declined to review her appeal this month.
