More evidence emerges: Biden, Fulton County DA Willis coordinated to ensnare Trump in prosecutions

The newly released memos from the Fulton County District Attorney’s office provide the latest evidence that Joe Biden’s administration was at the center of trying to bog down his chief Republican rival, Donald Trump, by ensnaring him with federal and state level charges during the 2024 campaign, lawmakers and legal experts say. 

Memos from District Attorney Fani Willis’ office, which were obtained earlier this week by Just the News through a Georgia open records lawsuit, provide the most extensive evidence to date that the Fulton County prosecutor coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built her failed criminal case against the then-former president. 

Collusion, yes, but in state of Georgia, not Russia

They also show that at the same time she was pursuing her probe into Trump, the Biden Justice Department "invited" Willis to apply for a lucrative sole-source grant, Just the News reported. 

“I have said for years that Biden’s White House and Justice Department had their fingerprints all over local prosecutions of [Donald Trump], which were designed to stop his political comeback,” Sen. Linsdey Graham, R-S.C., posted to X on Thursday. 

“Within days of President Trump announcing his 2024 presidential campaign, Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel. Within months, over 90 felony charges were brought against President Trump in New York by Alvin Bragg, in Georgia by Fani Willis, and in DC by Jack Smith,” Graham said. 

“The tsunami of felony charges coming from the most liberal venues in America were not just supported by Biden’s White House and DOJ,” he continued. “Apparently, according to these memos, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office may have also benefited from shady grants coming from Biden’s DOJ.”

Just the News, alongside the nonprofit public interest law firm America First Legal (AFL), sued Willis for the records under Georgia's Open Records Law. Willis, a longtime Trump nemesis, sought to hide many of the records with claims of legal privilege during a prolonged legal fight. Likely realizing the futility of resisting the law, Willis' office this week dropped all privilege claims and released all the documents without any redactions. 

Willis' paramour rewarded financially and strategically

Contained in those documents was the most extensive evidence yet of the interactions between Willis’ office and the Biden administration. This included at least one apparent meeting between Willis’ special prosecutor, Nathan Wade and the Biden White House.  

Wade, who admitted to a "personal relationship" with Willis outside the office, billed Fulton County $2,000 for an "interview with DC/White House" on Nov. 18, 2022, just as Willis' probe was accelerating, according to the new records Willis was forced to disclose. 

A letter contained in the records shows the Biden White House counsel’s office also gave Willis' prosecution team a major gift, waiving Trump's ability to claim executive privilege and to block former administration officials from testifying, citing the seriousness of Jan. 6 as justification for waiving the historical privilege that shields executive communications, Just the News reported. 

Mike Davis, a former Senate lawyer and president of the Article III Project, told Just the News that Willis’ prosecution should be reviewed for potential illegal conduct because there was no evidence of underlying crimes. “[There] was no legal predicate for what they were doing. There was no crime. There was no possible crime. It is not a crime to object to a presidential election,” Davis told the John Solomon Reports podcast. 

Congressional Democrats provided Willis' team with access to interviews, investigative material

The records also show that Willis’ team approached Democratic members of the Jan. 6 Select Committee for information related to their investigation into Trump and officials from his administration. One of the queries went directly to the committee's chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., a vehement critic of Trump's.

At least one Democratic office connected Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Michael Hill with the committee’s chief investigative counsel, Tim Heaphy. The records indicate that Heaphy called Hill on April 20, 2022, and their discussion was memorialized in a follow-up email recently disclosed as a result of the open records suit. 

“As we discussed yesterday, we’re willing to provide an oral summary of what certain witnesses have told the committee in interviews and depositions,” Heaphy wrote. “We are also prepared to give you access to some committee documents, in camera in our office.” 

Prosecutors were "desperate" to pin something on Trump: Loudermilk

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., told Just the News that the Fulton prosecutors’ approaches showed that “they were desperate" for information to pin something on President Trump and Republicans more broadly. 

“I mean, when you go back, and you look at this from a 35,000-foot level, they were so desperate to pin this on Republicans, and specifically Donald Trump. Because, if you go back, you look at the Select Committee on January 6, their goal was to make sure Donald Trump never held political office again, and if they could have put him in jail, they would have,” Loudermilk told the Just the News, No Noise TV show.  

“But where we are right now, we're seeing that that was broader than just the Select Committee,” he added. 

“Fani Willis was so desperate to prosecute and imprison other people associated with Trump, they were willing. And we had the Biden White House going along with it, changing precedent that had ruled documents for centuries in this country. Right? Executive privilege, and they were so desperate to find something,” Loudermilk said. 

Loudermilk believes Willis’ approach to the Jan. 6 committee showed that “they weren’t finding enough” and desperate to obtain new information to fuel the case. “She was so desperate she was willing to do whatever, even coordinating with the select committee on January 6,” he said.
