Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told Fox News Digital his organization has been digging for Willis’ communications because he believes the district attorney improperly coordinated with the federal government to charge Trump over the 2020 election.
"The lawsuit is about any collusion and collaboration with Congress and the Justice Department, Jack Smith, and we haven't seen the documents, but they show that there has been because their very existence shows that they were talking to them," Fitton said.
Asked about why Willis communicating with the Jan. 6 committee or Smith would be out of line, Fitton said the mere existence of the interactions showed Willis' work lacked independence and that her indictment against Trump and 18 others was a "political operation" rather than an "honest, good-faith process."
"Look, if Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff are running this investigation, you can be darn sure it's not credible," Fitton said in reference to the former Democratic House speaker and member of the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee, respectively.

In March 2025, the court ordered Willis to produce 212 pages of records that were belatedly found after Willis’ office had initially denied their existence. However, the new order directs Willis to clarify the search protocols used for Hill and Wade's records.
Willis has faced enormous outside scrutiny from lawyers for the defendants and the Georgia state legislature over her investigation and prosecution of Trump.

Willis charged Trump and 18 co-defendants in August 2023 with racketeering and other violations over the 2020 election, but the case was whittled down significantly because of plea deals and dismissed charges.
Ultimately, the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Willis from the case, finding her private romantic relationship with Wade presented a conflict of interest. The case has been shelved indefinitely since the ruling.
