Fani Willis stood in front of cameras in 2023 and told America she was an independent prosecutor – a fearless Fulton County DA acting entirely on her own to hold a former president accountable.
For years, anyone who questioned that story was dismissed as a MAGA conspiracy theorist.
Now 8,000 pages of internal memos – documents Willis spent years fighting to keep hidden – just landed, and what's inside them is something she can never explain away.
Biden DOJ Waived Trump's Executive Privilege to Arm Willis's Case
America First Legal and Just the News sued Willis under Georgia's Open Records Law to pry these documents loose.
Willis stonewalled, claimed privilege, and delayed – but this week her office surrendered completely, abandoning every legal objection and handing over everything unredacted – more than she ever gave congressional Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.
What those 8,000 pages reveal is a prosecutorial operation with Biden's White House embedded in it from the beginning.
Biden's own Special Counsel, Richard Sauber, sent a September 2022 letter to Willis's deputy directly waiving Trump's executive privilege – stripping Trump's former White House officials of the legal protection that would have kept them from testifying before her Georgia grand jury.
Historians will note that Barack Obama and Eric Holder invoked that same privilege aggressively to block congressional investigators during the Fast and Furious scandal.
Biden weaponized it against Trump instead.
"These documents reveal that the Biden Administration and the January 6 Committee were much more involved in District Attorney Fani Willis's prosecution of President Trump than was previously believed," said America First Legal attorney Will Scolinos.
Nathan Wade Billed Taxpayers for Secret White House Meetings on the Same Day Jack Smith Was Named
Here's what your tax dollars paid for.
Willis hired Nathan Wade – a family law attorney who had never prosecuted a single felony – as her special prosecutor on the biggest political case in Georgia history, paying him more than $650,000 while he was sleeping with her.
While collecting that money, Wade billed Fulton County taxpayers $2,000 for an "Interview with DC/White House" on November 18, 2022 – the exact same day Merrick Garland announced Jack Smith as special counsel to prosecute Trump federally.
Two separate Trump prosecutions, federal and state, coordinated within the same 24-hour window, and the man at the center of both meetings later told the House Judiciary Committee he couldn't remember any of it.
A divorce lawyer. More than $650,000. Secret White House meetings. No records.
Jan. 6 Committee Gave Willis Evidence It Withheld from Congressional Republicans
The documents also confirm what House Republicans long suspected: Willis's team was operating as a direct extension of the partisan January 6 Select Committee.
The committee's chief investigative counsel, Tim Heaphy, personally invited Georgia prosecutors to Washington to review witness interview summaries and committee documents in camera – materials the same committee refused to share with Republican members of Congress.
Willis's own deputy called what the Democrats had accomplished in the previous year "amazing things" in a December 2022 email to Heaphy.
Jim Jordan had demanded these documents for over two years.
Willis gave congressional Republicans less than she ultimately gave the public when the litigation forced her hand – which means she wasn't protecting privilege.
She was protecting herself.
The Georgia Court of Appeals said her misconduct created an "odor of mendacity" so severe that disqualification of her entire office was the only remedy.
The case was dismissed in November 2025.
Eight thousand pages of memos, and not one of them shows an independent prosecutor doing her job.
