A court in Georgia this week found Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in violation of Peach State law open records laws yet again.

This time, the violation occurred within the context of a lawsuit aimed at prying away information about the Democratic Party prosecutor’s communications with special counsel Jack Smith and members of the since-defunct House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.

In a 6-page order granting the plaintiff’s motion for default judgment, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered the district attorney’s office to provide the requested documents and left open the possibility of forcing the state to pay attorneys fees.

In the underlying lawsuit, conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch accused Willis, and Fulton County broadly, of making “likely false” representations about the retention of such documents.
