A judge in Georgia ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to turn over any records from special counsel Jack Smith or U.S. House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack following a lawsuit from a conservative legal group seeking documents related to the DA's 2020 election interference case.
The order follows a March lawsuit from the conservative nonprofit group Judicial Watch, which sued Willis after Fulton County claimed it did not have any responsive records from either the special counsel's office or House Select Committee.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney on Monday ordered Willis to produce any records within five business days and determined that she violated the state's open records act by failing to respond to the lawsuit.
