Once again, a Democrat demonstrates that they have no respect for the law. Fani Willis has refused to answer a public records lawsuit concerning her collusion with Jack Smith. Judicial Watch filed their public records lawsuit on March 11, 2024, but she has not yet answered it. The time limit for answering such a lawsuit in Georgia is thirty days, and it was about 45 days when Judicial Watch asked for a default order.
Judicial Watch asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, to declare a default judgment against Fani Willis after she failed to answer the lawsuit within the thirty days prescribed by law. These are public records, meaning that any member of the public is entitled to these records. Willis is well known for flouting the law as well as for her many Brady violations. She just shrugs off the laws as if they were suggestions and not the law of the land. She is facing multiple investigations for her many crimes.
Judicial Watch reported:
Judicial Watch announced today that it askedthe Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, to declare a default judgment against District Attorney Fani Willis in Judicial Watch’s lawsuit seeking records of communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.
The lawsuit was filed 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 Inc. v. Fani Willis et al.(No. 24-CV-002805)). (Judicial Watch dismissed Fulton County from the lawsuit.)
In its motion Judicial Watch noted that Willis was served with the lawsuit on March 11, 2024, but that she has not yet answered it:

Pursuant to [Georgia law] the case automatically became in default when an answer was not filed by the due date. Further pursuant to that Code section, Defendant was permitted as a matter of right to open the default within 15 days of the day of default, or by April 25, 2024.
Judicial Watch asserts it is now entitled to a verdict and judgment by default.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said:
“I think this is the first time in Judicial Watch’s thirty years that a government official failed to answer an open records lawsuit in court. This further shows Ms. Willis has something to hide about her collusion with the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi’s Congress on her unprecedented and compromised ‘get-Trump’ prosecution.”

Last year House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan launched an investigation into whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated with federal officials during her years-long probe into Trump and his associates.
Chairman Jordan in his letter to Fani Willis requested all documents and communications between or among the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and DOJ and its components, including but not limited to the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith, referring or relating to your office’s investigation of President Donald Trump or any of the other eighteen individuals against whom charges were brought in the indictment.
