ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is being accused of illegally recording a phone call between her and one of the defense lawyers involved in her sprawling racketeering indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Christopher Kachouroff, who is representing Trump co-defendant Harrison Floyd, is alleging Willis recorded a phone call between her and one of Kachouroff’s Maryland-based colleagues without his knowledge. That would be a violation of Maryland’s Wiretap Act, under which recording a private conversation without consent from both parties is punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
Kachouroff told CBS News Willis recorded a phone call with his colleague who was in Maryland at the time without their consent. Kachouroff said they found out about the recording because an anonymous citizen found it in an open records request and sent it to him.
Late Wednesday night, a conversation between Kachouroff and columnist Phil Holloway was posted by Floyd on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account:

Georgia is a one-party consent state, and it’s unclear where Willis was located when the alleged phone call was made. Atlanta News First is reaching out to Willis’ office for comment.
Floyd, who once headed an organization called Black Voices for Trump, is one of 14 remaining co-defendants in Willis’ historic indictment of Trump.
Floyd, the only co-defendant who was actually jailed in racketeering indictment, is also requesting his trial be moved to Coffee County, arguing he cannot receive a fair trial in Fulton County. Coffee County is about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta, and is where prosecutors allege voter information data was copied from Dominion Voting Systems equipment to an unidentified lawyer associated with the Trump campaign.

Laws do NOT apply to the privileged group
Laws are for “little people
True. Unless criminal charges are filed, this goes in to the round file.
Fani should resign BEFORE they take away her license.
Problem is Maryland would have to prosecute, but they won’t.
You won’t see any of the FR Democrat operatives on this thread decrying the criminal behavior of Fatti “The Felon” sWill-@ss...
To clarify: You won’t see any of the FR Democrat operatives coming onto this thread.
Crooked as a corkscrew. Maybe the Dems should exchange their mascot for a corkscrew.

Interstate phone calls require only one party’s knowledge under federal law. Maryland, where the call was received requires two. Georgia is a single party state.
None of it matters because it’s a federal interstate action, so state laws are irrelevant. There are also law enforcement exceptions in both the Maryland and Georgia laws, and DA’s are members of law enforcement.
Let’s move on to something that might actually be productive in court. This is just another shot of hopium without any real legal support.
It is common sense that if Willis was in NY then GA law does not apply.
FAwni is going to get a wake up.
But the question all are asking is, “How far will her race card get her a get out of jail free card?”
This is a woman who is a felon.And she deserves to be behind bars.

But it was illegal in Maryland, not Georgia.
A real crime yet nothing will happen!
Lock her up and burn her house down. Enough of this uppity crap.

If she was in Georgia when she recorded the call, it was a legal recording.
