Bill Barr Teamed With DA Fani Willis On Trump-RICO Case: Report

William Barr, who served as the U.S. Attorney General during President Donald Trump’s initial term, is reported to have collaborated with Fani Willis, the Democratic district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, who initiated RICO charges related to the 2020 election against Trump and several others, in an effort to secure a conviction of his former superior.

Whistleblower Patrícia Lélis has claimed that Barr conspired with Willis to thwart Trump’s potential return to the White House by orchestrating her prosecution, which resulted in charges against Trump and 18 co-defendants for allegedly attempting to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 election.

Lélis asserts that Barr was involved in clandestine meetings in Washington, D.C., with Willis and others—including media figure Armstrong Williams—to devise this plan.

Having worked for Williams’s public relations firm in 2021, Lélis stated that she attended “dozens” of meetings where Barr and Willis deliberated on various legal tactics aimed at hindering Trump’s campaign ahead of the 2024 election.

She supplied Project Veritas with numerous boxes of handwritten notes she recorded during these meetings, which occurred between 2021 and 2023.

One particular meeting on September 6, 2021, featured Barr and CNN commentator Shermichael Singleton, during which the group formulated a media strategy to support Congress’ investigation into the events of January 6.

Lélis noted in her interview with Project Veritas that, “The investigation will be focused on individuals close to Trump and will seek to formally prosecute these individuals.”

Her notes indicate that Barr pinpointed additional subjects of the investigation, such as Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Stewart Rhodes, Enrique Tarrio, Jeffrey Clark, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys. In the subsequent months, many of these individuals were issued subpoenas to testify before the January 6 committee, underscoring the considerable influence Barr seemingly held after publicly distancing himself from Trump.

Photos dated March 15, 2022, depict Barr entering the Sinclair Broadcast Group, where he conferred with Willis and federal prosecutor Jack Smith regarding the forthcoming charges that Smith intended to file against Trump in Florida. Smith’s case centered on Trump’s purported mishandling of classified documents that he declined to return to the National Archives.

Lélis documented Barr forecasting during the meeting that an FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago would occur “soon.” Five months later, agents executed a raid on Trump’s residence, searching for documents and security footage.

Notes from a meeting on January 19, 2023, reveal that Barr and Willis intended to reconvene, with subsequent notes from February 27, 2023, affirming that the meeting took place. It was during this meeting that Barr reportedly counseled Willis to pursue RICO charges against Trump.

“Bill Barr suggested that we should consider RICO because it represents a particularly challenging type of charge to defend,” Lélis informed Project Veritas, further noting that Trump’s former attorney general characterized racketeering charges as intricate and difficult to contest under U.S. law.

Ultimately, several of Trump’s co-defendants entered guilty pleas in exchange for their agreement to testify against him and other alleged co-conspirators—indicative of the increasing desperation within their ranks as Willis approached a potential triumph.

Lélis stated that the primary aim of these meetings was to obstruct Trump’s return to the presidency.

“One thing that I comprehended very clearly is that Bill Barr, Armstrong, and all the politicians are intensely focused on how to prevent Trump from succeeding,” she remarked.

Nevertheless, these efforts transcended the courtroom. According to Lélis, Willis allegedly worked with a social media team to produce “anti-Trump” posts and other content designed to support the prosecution.
