Fulton County District Fani Willis has been ordered to pay over $54,000 for violating open records laws in President Donald Trump’s case.

Rachel Krause, the Superior Court judge for Fulton County, ruled that Willis is ordered to pay $54,264 in attorneys’ fees and litigation costs after “intentionally” failing to deliver records requested by Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney who filed legal documents to disqualify Willis from prosecuting Trump on accusations of suspected election interference in 2020.

She went on to explain that Willis’ office had failed to provide documents related to the employment of Nathan Wade, the former special assistant district attorney who was forced to resign from the case after his romantic relationship with Willis came to light.

Merchant stated in the court order that she believed that Willis and Wade likely both financially benefited from Wade’s appointment as the special prosecutor in the case.
