<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao MvWXB TjIXL aGjvy ebVHC">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&#8217;s 2020 <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/timeline-criminal-probe-trumps-efforts-overturn-georgia-election/story?id=98504895" target="_blank">election interference case</a>.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">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&#8217;s office or House Select Committee.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">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&#8217;s open records act by failing to respond to the lawsuit.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Judge McBurney granted judgement by default because Willis failed to make a &#8220;meritorious defense&#8221; and instead claimed she hadn&#8217;t been properly served.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">&#8220;Plaintiff is thus entitled to judgment by default as if every item and paragraph of the complaint were supported by proper and sufficient evidence. 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,&#8221; said McBurney&#8217;s decision, which ordered Willis to turn over any records and pay the attorney&#8217;s fees for Judicial Watch.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Donald Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty last year to all charges in a <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/georgia-trump-indictment/story?id=102273028" target="_blank">sweeping racketeering indictment</a> for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia. Four defendants subsequently took plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Smith brought the federal election interference and classified documents cases against Trump before <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/special-counsel-jack-smith-moves-dismiss-election-interference/story?id=116207758" target="_blank">both cases were dismissed</a> due to presidential immunity, following Trump&#8217;s reelection last month.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Trump&#8217;s legal team already sought any communications between Willis and the House Select Committee based on a December 2021 letter from Willis to then-committee Chairman Bennie Thompson seeking &#8220;access to records that may be relevant to our investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">During a January court hearing, attorneys for the Fulton County district attorney&#8217;s office confirmed that they had produced any relevant records from the committee or the records were already public.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">According to former prosecutor Nathan Wade, prosecutors met with the Jan. 6 committee, but that &#8220;there was no sharing of tangible documents.&#8217;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Trump&#8217;s criminal case in Georgia is on pause after Trump and his co-defendants launched an effort to have Willis disqualified from the case over her relationship with Wade.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee declined to disqualify Willis, but the case has been paused as Trump and his co-defendants appeal the decision.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN">An oral argument for the appeal was initially scheduled for Dec. 5, but was <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/georgia-court-cancels-hearing-trumps-appeal-fani-willis/story?id=115987749" target="_blank">unexpectedly canceled</a> last month without explanation.</p>
