Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been mandated to pay over $54,000 in legal fees for breaching Georgia’s Open Records Act, as stated in court documents.
The conflict originated from Willis’ office not supplying records requested by defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Michael Roman, a former aide to President Donald Trump.
Roman was indicted alongside Trump in the ongoing Georgia election interference case initiated by Willis in 2023, as reported by Newsweek.
The ruling issued on Friday marks another challenge for Fani Willis and her prosecution of Trump and the other defendants, according to the outlet.
