A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to turn over communications between ex-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith and the president's Georgia antagonist, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, in what a legal watchdog group has called a case of collusion.
The order from U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich followed the end of Smith's 2020 election interference case against President Donald Trump and Smith's own resignation from his special prosecutor role.
Judicial Watch had sought the communications in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit but has been stalled by Smith and Justice, claiming that disclosing any information would hurt the prosecution.
Friedrich, based in Washington, said since there no longer is a case, turning over the documents won't jeopardize any case.

Judicial Watch had been seeking communications between Smith's office and the Fulton County district attorney "requesting or receiving federal funds or other federal assistance in any form relating to the investigation" of Trump and others in the 2020 election case. The group also sought any other communications between the two.
The stalling angered Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who said, "President Trump truly needs to overhaul the Justice Department from top to bottom. It is a scandal that a federal court had to order the Justice Department to admit the truth that their objections to producing records about collusion with Fani Willis had no basis in reality."
Leave the maggots no stone to hide beneath. Let the light sear them.
