Fani Willis Forced to Pay Trump Co-Defendant's Lawyer After Ruling

A Georgia Supreme Court ruling has determined that district attorneys can be sued under the Open Records Act, even though their offices are protected by the state constitution. This ruling came after a lower court judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to provide documents and pay attorney's fees to the lawyer representing one of Donald Trump's co-defendants in the election interference case. The lawyer argued that Willis' office had failed to respond to numerous open records requests related to her client, violating the Open Records Act. The Supreme Court's decision means that Willis' office can be held accountable for any future violations of the act, potentially impacting the ongoing election interference case against Trump.
