Trump Lawyers Target Records Between White House and Fani Willis Prosecutor

The Epoch Times Header

His attorneys say special counsel Jack Smith โ€™must produce any documents further reflecting this coordination.โ€™

Former President Donald Trump filed court papers demanding records that may show coordination between prosecutors in Georgia and the Biden administration.

On Tuesday, his attorneys said they wish to see court records relating to a reported meeting between White House officials and top Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was hired by Fulton County District Attorney in her case against the former president.

The request was part of a 68-page filing that also accused federal special prosecutor Jack Smith of concealing evidence about his collaboration with the Biden administration. His lawyers claimed that it obtained redacted documents through a Freedom of Information Act request that allegedly found that โ€œpolitically motivated operatives in the Biden Administration and the National Archives and Records Administrationโ€ were coordinating with Mr. Smith.

But in a separate section of the court filing, his lawyers said that โ€œcommunications between the Biden administration and prosecutors in Georgia regarding any of the pending prosecutions of President Trump are similarly supportive of President Trumpโ€™s political bias defense and must be disclosed.โ€

โ€œEvidence demonstrating that parts of the Biden Administration coordinated with Georgia prosecutors to file additional politically motivated chargesโ€”while the same White House Counselโ€™s Office was coordinating with NARA during the investigationโ€”supports President Trumpโ€™s defense that the Biden Administration was coordinating behind the scenes to try to eliminate President Bidenโ€™s leading political rival,โ€ the court papers state. โ€œThe Special Counselโ€™s Office must produce any documents further reflecting this coordination.โ€

It claimed that Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade โ€œhelped coordinate with the Biden Administration in 2022โ€ and that one of his โ€œinvoices indicates that he devoted eight hours to a โ€˜conf. with White House Counselโ€™ on May 23, 2022.โ€ Later, another invoice showed that he spent eight hours at an โ€œinterviewโ€ in Washington, D.C., and the White House on Nov. 18, 2022, according to the court filing.

That November date is the same day that Attorney General Merrick Garland issued the order to appoint Mr. Smith as special counsel and โ€œjust after President Trump formally announced his candidacy in the 2024 election on Nov. 15, his lawyers said.
