Fulton DA’s Corruption Spills Over Into Special Prosecutor’s Divorce
In a revelation that adds another layer to the already explosive Fulton County racketeering case against President Donald Trump, new allegations have surfaced involving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. This twist comes amid the ongoing scrutiny of Willis’ decision to charge Trump and 18 co-defendants with attempting to alter the 2020 US election results in Georgia.
The allegations center around Nathan Wade, appointed by Willis as a Special Prosecutor in the Trump case. According to reports from the Daily Caller, Wade’s wife has now filed new claims in their divorce proceedings, alleging that Wade failed to disclose over $700,000 in earnings from Fulton County. As per the filing, this undisclosed income led to financial difficulties for her, as her bank account was “routinely overdrawn.”
The timing of these events is notably curious. Wade filed for divorce from his stay-at-home wife of 20 years on November 2, 2021, one day after being hired by Willis. Wade’s divorce records were sealed on February 10, 2022, according to the motion filed this week by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman.
Adding to the intrigue, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has stepped into the fray, sending a criminal referral to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Attorney General Chris Carr. In her letter, Greene raises “serious concerns” about the allegations, suggesting potential violations of various Georgia statutes by Willis. These include bribery and improper influence of a government official, among others.
At the heart of the controversy are allegations of a romantic relationship between Willis and Wade. The allegations, if proven true, would signify a significant and impermissible conflict of interest in handling the Trump case.
If proven in court, the allegations would also show a misuse of public funds and a breach of ethical standards, undermining the credibility of the case against the former president. Roman’s motion also claims that taxpayer money was used to pay for private meetings between Wade and the Biden White House before the indictment.
The situation becomes more complex considering the political context. Trump and his allies have been vocal in criticizing the charges, framing them as a politically motivated attack. The latest allegations could provide further ammunition for Trump’s defense, painting the prosecution’s actions as not just legally questionable but politically biased for the purpose of directly interfering in the upcoming presidential election.
