Fani Willis Ordered to Release Communications in Trump Case Investigation

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered by a court to provide all communications with special counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee within five business days. This order follows a motion for default adjustment against her, as she allegedly violated Georgia's open records act by not responding to Judicial Watch's lawsuit. The case, involving a RICO charge against President-elect Donald Trump, is currently paused. Controversy surrounds Willis due to her hiring of Nathan Wade, her romantic partner, as a special prosecutor, who had extensive communications with the Biden White House.

Evanston's Reparations Program Faces Discrimination Lawsuit

A conservative activist group, Judicial Watch, has filed a class action lawsuit against Evanston, Illinois' reparations program, claiming it is unconstitutional for basing eligibility on race. The program, which began in 2021, aims to compensate Black residents affected by historical discriminatory zoning practices. Judicial Watch argues that the program violates the equal protection clause and seeks $25,000 in damages for non-Black plaintiffs who meet all criteria except race. Evanston officials plan to defend the program, which has already provided payments to eligible Black residents.
