Fani Willis Ordered to Pay $54,264 for Violating Georgia's Open Records Act

A Fulton County judge ruled that the district attorney's office intentionally withheld documents, raising concerns about transparency in the Trump election interference case.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must pay $54,264 in attorney fees and litigation costs after being found in violation of Georgia's Open Records Act.
The court determined that Willis' office intentionally failed to provide requested documents related to Nathan Wade, a former special assistant district attorney linked to her romantically.
Judge Rachel Krause ruled that the handling of records requests by Willis' office, particularly by Open Records custodian Dexter Bond, demonstrated a lack of good faith.
Willis has been ordered to provide the requested documents within 30 days, with further penalties possible if her office does not comply.
Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who filed the lawsuit, expressed satisfaction with the ruling, emphasizing the importance of holding public officials accountable.
