Atlanta judge lifts lid on Fani Willis’ Trump prosecution evidence
Ruling wipes out 2023 court order barring publication of sensitive information.

By Rosie Manins
Jan 9, 2026


Much of the evidence compiled against President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the criminal 2020 election interference case in Fulton County can be publicly revealed for the first time.

In a ruling this week, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wiped out an order he issued in November 2023, which had prevented Trump and his 18 co-defendants from publicly disclosing evidence against them that prosecutors deemed to be sensitive.
...

McAfee’s decision Wednesday was prompted by defendant David Shafer, former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party. He asked the judge in late December to modify the 2023 protective order so he could publicly reveal some of the transcribed testimony before the special purpose grand jury convened in the case.

The judge went one further, terminating the 2023 order entirely.

“As Mr. Shafer highlights, the justifications for the protective order no longer exist,” he said.

On Thursday, Shafer publicly filed in court almost 100 pages of transcribed testimony before the special purpose grand jury from July 26, 2022. He said his prosecution “resulted in complete disruption” of his work and caused him “immense pain and suffering.”

The evidence filed in court Thursday by Shafer comprised the testimony of Ken Carroll, a longtime member of the Georgia Republican Party and one of 16 Republican electors who swore in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia that it had been won by Trump.

Carroll told the special purpose grand jury that he had received a call from Shafer in December 2020, telling him the president needed their help. He said he believed at the time that Trump won the previous month’s election and needed the Republican electors’ support to preserve his rights in court.

“There was a feeling of we need to go ahead and get this done,” Carroll testified, adding he believes fraud is widespread in Georgia elections and has been for decades.

“I absolutely believe there was voter fraud,” Carroll testified about the 2020 election.
...

The criminal racketeering case against Trump and his supporters went sideways in early 2024, when Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was accused of having an improper romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a private attorney she had hired to work on the case.

That line of inquiry led to the removal of Willis and her office from the prosecution, which no other district attorneys in the state wanted to take. In the end, Skandalakis dropped the charges, saying the alleged criminal conduct amounted to more of a federal, not state, case.

Do we think that the original, untainted ballots are still there? They have had five years to get rid of the fraudulent ballots.

Didn’t we see ballots go to a warehouse and shredding trucks stop there shortly after the election? I think I remember that. There was so much coming out back then that I could be misremembering.

The very next morning, Against the law. Fulton county shredded their evidence immediately. They knew law didn’t apply to them because they are the law.
