Fulton County’s lawfare-loving district attorney suffered another legal loss as allegations of “collusion and collaboration” against the president were met with orders to correct “omissions.”
Leading up to the 2024 presidential election, considerable focus has remained on the 2020 presidential election, as questions about election integrity have been treated by the left as a conspiracy to overturn the outcome.
Now, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) has been ordered to conduct a new search of records related to then-former President Donald Trump’s case after her previous search was deemed inadequate.
“The lawsuit is about any collusion and collaboration with Congress and the Justice Department, [former special counsel] Jack Smith, and we haven’t seen the documents,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Fox News Digital, “but they show that there has been because their very existence shows that they were talking to them.”
The judge cited “omissions” in response to an affidavit by Willis that did not address searches of devices belonging to Chief Investigator Michael Hill and former Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, who himself was forced to withdraw from the case after his romantic relationship with Willis was made public.
“There was no search protocol produced for or by Investigator Michael L. Hill II, indicating what accounts, devices, etc. were searched and for what terms,” read the court documents. “It is unclear if anyone consulted with Nathan Wade, who is now employed elsewhere but who at the relevant time was, among other things, Defendant’s lead counsel for her office’s investigation into ‘possible criminal disruptions that occurred during the administration of the 2020 general elections in Georgia’ (to use her office’s phrasing).”
As the judge went on to indicate the lack of search protocol used in response to requests in addition to the lack of the scope of the search, Fitton explained allegations that Willis’ August 2023 indictment of Trump and 18 co-defendants for supposed racketeering was a “political operation” instead of an “honest, good-faith process” based on the existence of communications with Smith and the Jan. 6 committee, saying, “Look, if [California Rep.] Nancy Pelosi and [now-California Sen.] Adam Schiff are running this investigation, you can be darn sure it’s not credible.”
Judicial Watch previously scored a legal victory in March when the watchdog group’s suit against Willis found her ordered to turn over her records and explain how 212 pages had previously been unaccounted for — which also followed a January order to pay roughly $22,000 in fees to Judicial Watch for failing to respond to open records requests.
“Defendant claimed to have no responsive records,” wrote Judge Robert C.I. McBurney. “Plaintiff sued and has since secured a default judgment against defendant, who, it turns out, does have responsive records.”
“After several non-searches, one court order, and at least one actual search of unknown thoroughness,” continued the judge, “defendant revised her answer to, in essence, ‘I do have records, but you can’t have them.'”

In a separate statement, Fitton bluntly asserted, “Fani Willis can’t be trusted. Every time we go back to court, there are new excuses and new documents that she said never existed. And now we find that entire universes of records may have been ignored.”
