Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered by a Georgia judge to pay $54,000 for violating open records laws in relation to her prosecution against President Donald Trump.

Willis’s office brought charges against Trump and more than a dozen others in relation to the 2020 election, accusing the then-former president and others of violating state racketeering laws and trying to subvert that election.
