The district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, was ordered by a judge to turn over communications she may have had with federal special counsel Jack Smith and the House Jan. 6 subcommittee.

A March lawsuit filed by conservative-leaning Judicial Watch against District Attorney Fani Willis, an elected Democrat, in the Fulton County Superior Court had asked for records related to any possible communications with the committee or Smith’s office. The judge in the case was asked to issue a default judgment to grant Judicial Watch’s request for Willis to pay its attorneys’ fees and provide records to the organization.
