Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was ordered to pay $54,000 in attorneys’ fees for ‘intentionally’ violating open records laws in her bogus RICO case against Trump.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause ordered Fani Willis to pay legal fees for failing to provide requested records to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant.
The judge said Fani Willis failed to provide records related to Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor hired to hunt down Trump.
Fani Willis had an illicit affair with Nathan Wade, the top prosecutor she hired to hunt down Trump in her RICO and conspiracy case against the former president.
Nathan Wade was paid more than $600,000 as special prosecutor while he was wining and dining Fani Willis and paying for lavish vacations for them.
“Defendants — through the Open Records custodian, Dexter Bond — were openly hostile to counsel for Plaintiff, Ms. Merchant, and testified that Ms. Merchant’s requests were handled differently than other requests,” the court order said, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported:
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered to pay more than $54,000 for violating the state’s open records laws in relation to the prosecution of President Donald Trump.
The county’s Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause formalized her ruling Friday and ordered Willis to pay $54,264 in attorneys’ fees and litigation costs after “intentionally” failing to provide records requested by Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney who filed the motion to disqualify Willis from prosecuting Trump on charges of allegedly interfering with the 2020 presidential election.
Krause stated that Willis’ office failed to provide documents related to the employment of Nathan Wade, the former special assistant district attorney forced to resign from the Trump case due to his romantic relationship with Willis.
Merchant believed that Willis and Wade may have financially benefited from Wade’s appointment as the special prosecutor in the case.
