What Fani Willis’ lover Nathan Wade stunningly admitted to Congress about Trump prosecution

Nathan Wade admitted in Congress that his lover, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, planned to prosecute Donald Trump before she took the job.

Republicans have subpoenaed Wade to get to the bottom of his involvement in the “politicized” prosecution of the ex-president led by Willis.

The couple has been embroiled in scandal since their romantic and financial relationship came to light after Willis appointed Wade as “special prosecutor” in the Georgia 2020 election interference case against Trump.

According to a transcript of his closed-door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee last week, first reviewed by DailyMail.com, Wade said he was part of the “search committee” to find prosecutors to go after Trump.

And he also sensationally admitted that the commission was established long before Willis took over as district attorney on January 1, 2021.

She ultimately secured an indictment against Trump and 18 of his Republican allies in August 2023, which the former president has labeled a deception and a “scam.”

Wade also said he had met at least twice with various officials in the Biden-Harris White House.

But he did not elaborate on those meetings, sidestepping direct questions about the nature of the visits to official White House staff, including individuals in the White House counsel’s office.

Wade also confirmed that he had meetings with the Congressional committee on January 6, but did not provide details.

The House Judiciary Committee has called Willis’ case against Trump “politicized” after it emerged that the two were dating only last year.

The case has been on hold since June while a Georgia appeals court considers whether the lead prosecutor, Willis, should be disqualified for alleged misconduct related to her romantic relationship with Wade, who resigned in March.

The committee said he managed to answer their questions by saying he “couldn’t remember” or recall nearly 60 times during the closed-door hearing.

According to the transcript, he also admitted that he did not have the qualifications for the special prosecutor position to which Willis appointed him.

And he dismissed questions about the “personal nature” of his relationship with Willis.

The committee’s attorneys asked Wade if he was “ever concerned” that if his relationship became public it would “create a problem with the case.”

“So now I’m getting confused because I didn’t… I didn’t think I was coming here to answer questions about my personal life,” he fired back.

Donald Trump has claimed Willis is trying to interfere in the 2024 election after pleading not guilty to racketeering and other charges for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election in the swing state.

Earlier this month, Republicans tried to serve Wade a subpoena, but they had no idea where he was.

He said in the transcript that he turned off his phone to take a few days to “take care of his ankle” after a sprain and to prepare for a “meditation and arbitration” that awaited him .

Willis has said her affair with Wade was in the past, but police bodycam footage showed them together when Willis’ daughter Kinaya was arrested on August 24, 2024.

Trump has accused Willis of a “display of racist hostility” toward him, calling her case “a calculated attempt” to bring flak against him and “away from herself.”

Willis, who brought the case against Trump in the Georgia election interference, has said their affair was in the past, but police bodycam footage showed them together when Willis’ daughter Kinaya was arrested on August 24.

Trump has accused Willis of engaging in a “public display of racial hostility” toward him, calling her case “a calculated attempt” to bring condemnation against him and “away from herself.”

The pair looked strikingly similar to a couple last summer in police bodycam footage, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, filmed together at the scene of her pregnant daughter’s arrest for allegedly driving with a suspended license.

The footage shows them arriving in a black Ford SUV before approaching a group of officers along the road in Tyrone, Georgia.

The officers mistake the pair for Kinaya’s father and mother, but Willis corrects them, describing 51-year-old Wade – who resigned as her special prosecutor when their affair came to public attention – as “just a friend.”

Kinaya’s older sister Nia, 26 – a passenger in her sibling’s silver Nissan Altima – had called their mother in the aftermath of the 7:03 p.m. arrest.

By the time Willis and Wade pulled up, her daughter was already on her way to the Fayette County Jail, 30 minutes south of Atlanta, on charges of driving with a revoked or suspended license.

She was released later that day and Wade has not been photographed in public since.

Barnes, who is also an attorney, represents Willis in the upcoming case, which the district attorney has labeled an attempt by House Republicans to “obstruct a criminal proceeding in Georgia and advance outrageous misrepresentations.” .

Word of her relationship with Wade first surfaced in January, prompting a litany of requests for documents related to his work on Trump’s ongoing prosecution.

In the bodycam footage, officers mistake the pair for Kinaya’s mother and father, but Willis corrects them, describing 51-year-old Wade as “just a friend.”

In a letter to the committee sent a few weeks ago, Barnes claimed that Willis had objected to Wade providing the documents, calling the demands “inappropriate.”

Barnes also asked the district attorney’s office to have a representative present at Wade’s hearing so that Willis could “protect sensitive and confidential information related to pending criminal cases.”

“Any interview with Mr. Wade may include, among other things, secret grand jury information, confidential investigative sources and attorney-client privileged information, employment returns, and deliberative process privileges,” Barnes wrote.

Meanwhile, the congressional investigation continues as some continue to criticize an effort by Trump’s allies to undermine Willis’ prosecution of the politician.

Her case suffered a blow earlier this month when a judge in Georgia dismissed two charges of election interference and another against co-defendants who have also pleaded not guilty.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled that prosecutors did not have the authority to bring these charges, which were related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court.

The ruling meant that five of the original thirteen charges against Trump in the indictment obtained last year have now been dismissed.

McAfee dismissed six other charges in March, including three against Trump.

Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement that the recent ruling showed that Trump and his legal team “have once again prevailed.”
