Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia's 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News.
The memos show that President Joe Biden's top White House lawyer personally opened the door for Willis' prosecutors to interview Trump administration officials by waiving claims of executive privilege, that federal prosecutors waived certain rights to allow the interviews to proceed before a state grand jury and that Willis's team spoke glowingly of the congressional efforts to expose Trump's involvement in the disputed election.
"Our initial review of the report confirms you all have accomplished amazing things in the past year," F. Donald Wakeford, a top deputy to Willis, wrote in a December 2022 email to Tim Heaphy, chief investigative counsel for the Democrat-run Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Just the News, alongside the nonprofit public interest law firm America First Legal (AFL), sued Willis for the records, under Georgia's Open Records Law. Willis, a longtime Trump nemesis, sought to hide many of the records with claims of legal privilege during a prolonged legal fight.
