Federal investigators have issued a grand jury subpoena for the travel records of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought a racketeering case against President Donald Trump and several of his senior allies over their challenges to the 2020 election.

The New York Times reported Friday that the subpoena seeks information on Willis’ travel during the fall of 2024, in the weeks surrounding the presidential election.

The probe is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, which is led by U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg.

It is not yet clear whether Willis is the target of the investigation.

Willis indicted Trump and 18 others, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, several attorneys, and Republican operatives in Georgia.

The sweeping racketeering case has faced repeated delays following revelations of misconduct involving Willis and her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

Court filings revealed that Willis and Wade had a personal relationship while Wade was overseeing the case.

Divorce records tied to Wade exposed that he paid for trips with Willis in 2022 and 2023, including cruises with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, and vacations to Napa Valley, Miami, and Aruba.

Wade earned more than $700,000 in two years for his work on the case.

The revelations were first uncovered by Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants.

Following Merchant’s disclosures, questions arose over the legitimacy of the prosecution.

The scandal eventually led the Georgia Court of Appeals in December to rule that Willis could not continue in the case.

The appellate ruling also cited evidence that Willis had coordinated with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed by the Biden-Harris administration to pursue separate cases against Trump, as well as with the House January 6 Committee. Both efforts have since collapsed.

The Georgia case has been effectively stalled since last spring.

Meanwhile, other states pursuing similar charges have seen their cases dismissed or weakened.

Nevada and Michigan courts threw out charges against alternate electors, while an Arizona case has faced significant setbacks after a recent appellate ruling.

The federal subpoena adds a new layer of scrutiny to Willis, who has faced sustained criticism for her handling of the case.

The documents demanded by the grand jury could reveal whether she engaged in undisclosed travel or activity during a politically sensitive period.

The latest development also comes amid a series of legal actions against former high-ranking intelligence and law enforcement officials.

Just one day earlier, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on charges of obstruction of justice and making false statements to Congress regarding the Russia investigation.

Former CIA Director John Brennan is also under investigation for his role in the same matter.

With the subpoena now in play, the Justice Department’s inquiry into Willis’ conduct is expected to continue in the months ahead.
