Court documents reveal a potential witness who claims Fani Willis and Nathan Wade had a romantic relationship dating back to 2019, with Wade allegedly having a garage door opener for their secret meeting place. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, is facing scrutiny over her relationship with Wade, whom she appointed as a special prosecutor in a case involving former President Donald Trump. Both Willis and Wade testified under oath that they weren't romantic until 2022, but new evidence and witness testimonies suggest otherwise. The judge is expected to make a decision on the case within the next two weeks.
Staff members under Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis have offered to testify in an investigation into alleged financial misconduct and a romance scandal involving attorney Nathan Wade. The Georgia Senate panel is looking into potential misuse of public funds, while Willis has filed motions to dismiss subpoenas and faces criticism from Trump and his lawyers. Legal experts have both supported and criticized Willis, with ongoing efforts to keep the prosecution against Trump and 14 others moving forward despite the controversy.
The co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and his allies has challenged the district attorney's account of when her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor began, claiming it started before he was appointed to the case. The co-defendant's attorney stated that a former law partner of the special prosecutor will testify to refute the claims made by the district attorney and the special prosecutor. The case has been marred by allegations of a romantic relationship between the district attorney and the special prosecutor, as well as claims of financial impropriety and attempts to block subpoenas for testimony. The scandal has led to calls for the district attorney's disqualification and has attracted attention from state and federal authorities.
Legal analyst Harry Litman warns of potential trouble in the Fani Willis-Nathan Wade investigation despite believing there's no conflict in their relationship, as Fulton County DA Willis faces allegations of a personal relationship with Wade during the Trump investigation. Trump, facing multiple criminal indictments, including racketeering charges in Georgia, has pleaded not guilty. Willis denies any conflict of interest, but Litman suggests there's "blood in the water" in the case, with upcoming hearings and subpoenas adding to the scrutiny.
Former President Trump's Georgia prosecutor Nathan Wade, allegedly in a relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, is criticized in divorce documents for providing "inadequate" information about his alcohol, drug, and medication use. Wade's wife's lawyers claim he has repeatedly failed to cooperate in the divorce proceedings, including refusing to disclose basic information and financial records. The judge has unsealed the divorce case amid rising interest due to misconduct allegations against Wade and Willis, and ruled that Mrs. Wade has the right to uncover any alleged affair by her husband.
Bank statements suggest that Georgia special prosecutor Nathan Wade, allegedly involved with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, purchased plane tickets in her name for trips to Miami and San Francisco, leading to allegations of an improper romantic relationship. Willis, who brought charges against former President Donald Trump, is facing a subpoena related to the affair allegations in a divorce case. The bank records also show expenses for lavish vacations, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and financial benefits.
Allegations of a romantic relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade have sparked new accusations, but legal experts believe it is unlikely to impact the criminal racketeering case against Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants for attempting to overturn Georgia's electoral results. While the veracity of the allegations remains to be determined, experts suggest that any ethical issues would be dealt with separately and would not affect the merits of the case. The alleged relationship may have broader political and ethical implications for Willis, but is unlikely to change the legal course of the case.
The special prosecutor hired by Georgia DA Fani Willis for the election interference case against Donald Trump billed the DA's office $4,000 for meetings with White House officials, sparking allegations of an "improper" relationship. The prosecutor, Nathan Wade, is accused of having a clandestine personal relationship with Willis, leading to calls for her disqualification from the case. The court filing also alleges that Wade used funds from the case to pay for a lavish vacation with the DA, potentially constituting honest services fraud. The case involves racketeering charges against Trump and a former campaign official, who is accused of participating in efforts to reject President-elect Joe Biden's victories in key swing states.
