Fani Willis Ordered to Pay Over $50k For Violations in Donald Trump Case

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered to pay $54,000 in attorney fees for violating the state's Open Records Act, according to court documents.

Willis now has 30 days to provide all requested records and pay $54,264 to Merchant, based on nearly 80 hours of work on the case.
The judge ruled that failure to adequately comply with the requests was ultimately Fani Willis' responsibility.
