Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis met with Vice President Kamala Harris before she indicted Donald Trump in his election interference case, according to a lawyer who shared White House records during a Georgia Senate hearing.
The meeting, according to Attorney Ashley Merchant's testimony, took place on February 28, 2023, just months before Willis indicted Trump in August of that year, Newsweek reported.
Eighteen other people, including Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, were also indicted on charges of helping Trump in his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
During her testimony before the Georgia Senate, Merchant said that the mayor of Atlanta was also present for the meeting.
"My understanding is that it's highly regulated who can access the White House ... so you have to apply ahead of time," Merchant said, adding the White House records showing the meeting are open to the public.
When asked if there was any information available as to the reason the meeting took place, Merchant said no.Again, no substantive evidence.
But there was evidence, right there in the room.
February 28, 2023 was the last day of Black History Month.It is still amazing to me that no one pushed Merchant on this claim when she raised it during today’s hearing.

WH log she showed on overhead projector literally says Willis appointment location was “side lawn/tent” at VP residence & indicates over 450 other people also invited. https://t.co/yMQkFP4wDc pic.twitter.com/MUvnRsLoln
The credibility of these people is somewhere under the wagon rut beneath the snake’s belly.It's ridiculous. It was ON THE SCREEN during testimony.
