An attorney representing one of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the high-profile Georgia election racketeering case is countersuing the district attorney for allegedly failing to produce documents to the defense and “intentionally withholding information” in violation of state law.
Attorney Ashleigh Merchant, of the Georgia-based Merchant Law Firm, sued the office of District Attorney Fani Willis on Jan. 30, revealing in the lawsuit that Ms. Willis has been subpoenaed to testify at a Feb. 15 hearing during which prosecutors will have to address allegations Ms. Merchant made in a filing earlier this month. Ms. Merchant is also suing for documents regarding several other contractors on Ms. Willis’s team.
