Biden’s Justice Department claimed that it had nothing to do with the sham criminal cases against Trump.
Now 8,000 pages of internal documents say otherwise.
And the paper trail shows exactly what Biden's DOJ handed Willis – and why she spent years trying to hide it.
Biden's DOJ Turned a Competitive Grant Into a Private Gift for Willis
In April 2022, the Justice Department's Office of Justice Programs opened a Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative grant – listed publicly as a competitive award.
Any eligible office could apply.
Except Fani Willis' office didn't have to compete.
By December 2022, Willis was writing thank-you letters to Biden DOJ Senior Policy Advisor Scott Pestridge, referencing the grant "in which you invited us to apply" – and describing the process as "sole source," the federal government's own term for noncompetitive procurement.
That $2 million grant was locked in while Willis was actively building her RICO case against Donald Trump and 18 of his allies.
It was just a down payment.
From the moment Willis took office in January 2021 through 2024, Biden's Department of Justice pumped more than $18 million into her Fulton County office – all while she was the leading state-level weapon in a coordinated legal assault on the Republican frontrunner for president.
The Coordination Goes All the Way to the Oval Office
The money is damning buthe meetings are worse.
Nathan Wade – Willis' secret boyfriend, the man she hired to lead the Trump prosecution and paid over $600,000 in legal fees – billed Fulton County $2,000 for an "interview with DC/White House" on November 18, 2022, right as the investigation was accelerating.
No records of what happened at that meeting exist.
Biden's top White House lawyer personally waived executive privilege over Trump's communications – not just for the congressional J6 investigation, not just for Jack Smith's federal prosecution – but specifically to help Willis' state-level grand jury compel testimony from Trump's own White House staff.
Willis' deputy, F. Donald Wakeford, wrote to Tim Heaphy – chief investigative counsel for Nancy Pelosi's handpicked J6 committee – in December 2022 praising the committee for "amazing things" they accomplished together.
America First Legal attorney Will Scolinos said it plainly: "These documents reveal that the Biden Administration and the January 6 Committee were much more involved in District Attorney Fani Willis's prosecution of President Trump than was previously believed."
Legal warfare against Trump
Trump announced his 2024 presidential campaign in November 2022.
Within months, felony charges landed on him across four jurisdictions – Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, Jack Smith in Washington and Florida, and Fani Willis in Atlanta.
These weren't independent decisions by independent prosecutors who independently reached independent conclusions.
The documents prove what conservatives suspected from day one: Biden's White House cleared the legal path, Biden's DOJ funded the operation, and the J6 Democrats fed intelligence to the prosecutors building the case.
John Solomon, the investigative journalist who fought for these records alongside America First Legal, called it accurately – it looks exactly like Tammany Hall, the Chicago machine playbook, applied to federal law enforcement against a political opponent.
Biden signed off on waiving Trump's executive privilege for a state grand jury in Georgia – something that had never been done at the state level before.
Willis was removed for prosecutorial misconduct, the Georgia Court of Appeals citing her conflict of interest with Wade, and a Georgia judge dismissed the case against Trump last November after Trump won the White House.
Now the Trump DOJ has subpoenaed Willis' travel records, with the probe led by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
Eighteen million dollars, right thousand documents, and one failed attempt to imprison a president.
The only question left is who answers for it.
