WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) launched a new investigation into the activity of Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney, Fani Willis. AFL requested records related to the cost of the office’s years-long investigation of President Trump and documents related to the rate at which the office declines to pursue felony charges in other cases. Justice must be blind, and if the office is routinely declining felony charges while pursuing long-lasting and expensive investigations of the political opposition, this raises grave concerns about the partisanship of our justice system.
AFL also seeks to obtain the office’s communications with the Court Clerk’s office regarding the apparent inadvertent release of the Trump indictment before it was issued by the Grand Jury. AFL seeks to obtain transparency in government to ensure that the government remains accountable to the people. That principle, that the people are the sovereign and our elected officials work for the people, is central to our republic, and must be preserved.
