Judicial Watch announced Monday that it has petitioned the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, to issue a default judgment against District Attorney Fani Willis in its lawsuit seeking records of communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.
The lawsuit was initiated in the Superior Court of Fulton County, GA, after Willis and the county denied having any records responsive to an August 2023 Georgia Open Records Act request for communications with the Special Counsel's office and/or the January 6 Committee.
Judicial Watch highlighted in its motion that Willis was served with the lawsuit on March 11, 2024, but has not yet responded to it. Judicial Watch is now entitled to a judgment and verdict by default, it asserts.
Judicial Watch additionally referenced news reports and other records indicating that representatives from Willis's office traveled to Washington, DC, and held meetings with January 6 Select Committee staffers in April, May, and November 2022, aligning with Willis's proposal in her December 17, 2021 letter.
Judicial Watch is being assisted in the case by John Monroe of John Monroe Law in Georgia.
