Internal communications reveal Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department, the White House, and Democrats on the House Jan. 6 Committee while building her prosecution of President Trump and allies, according to a trove of 8,000 pages of memos released under Georgia’s open-records law.
The newly disclosed records, obtained by Just the News and the nonprofit America First Legal, show the Biden White House’s top lawyer waived claims of executive privilege to let Willis’ team interview former Trump administration officials before a state grand jury, and federal prosecutors waived rights to facilitate the interviews. Memos also include praise from Willis’ top deputy for the Jan. 6 Committee’s work.
The documents reveal a “cozy relationship” between the prosecution and federal actors, including a meeting between Willis’ outside special prosecutor and White House officials. They show the White House counsel’s office granted a broad executive privilege waiver to Georgia prosecutors — extending beyond previously known waivers for congressional and federal prosecution efforts.
Emails show Willis’ office sought formal requests to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Georgia to secure testimony from former Justice Department officials, and later made similar outreach to the Jan. 6 Committee for interviews and documents.
