Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor playing a leading role in the election
interference case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia, is now part
of a House Judiciary probe into the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office’s
“politically motivated prosecution” of the former president and alleged misuse
of federal funds.

According to a letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan
(R-Ohio), Mr. Wade is believed to be in possession of documents and information
regarding the “coordination of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office
(FCDAO) with other politically motivated investigations and prosecutions, as
well as the potential misuse of federal funds.”
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis—who is accused of having an
“improper” personal relationship with Mr. Wade and benefiting from it
financially—brought the election interference case against President Trump and
more than a dozen co-defendants under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations (RICO) Act, a law drafted to fight organized crime.

President Trump and Republicans have alleged that Ms. Willis’ case against the
former president is a politically-driven prosecution meant to derail his 2024
comeback bid.

Now, Mr. Wade is being asked to provide the House Judiciary Committee with
various documents—including notes, memos, invoices, and contracts—that relate to
the committee’s “serious concerns” about “improper coordination among
politicized actors—including the Biden White House—to investigate and prosecute
President Biden’s chief political opponent.”

The documents relate to meetings, communications, and other engagements between
Ms. Willis’ office (including Mr. Wade) and the Justice Department, the White
House, the Jan. 6 Select Committee, and the White House Counsel’s Office, in
regards to the Trump case.

Mr. Jordan’s letter cites reports that purportedly corroborate Mr. Wade’s
“coordination with partisan Democrats” on the case, including that he and Ms.
Willis’ staff “quietly met” with the Jan. 6 committee, which allegedly gave the
case against President Trump a “boost” and provided Mr. Wade with access to
records that it withheld from other law enforcement agencies and even from
Congress.

Invoices from Mr. Wade’s office, which were shared on social media by Sen.
Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), show that Mr. Wade held meetings with White House
officials in May 2022 and November 2022 “while building the political
prosecution of Donald Trump.”

Mr. Jordan’s letter also features an invoice showing a “Jan. 6 meeting” and
“Interview with DC/White House,” while stating that all the recently surfaced
information reinforce the committee’s concerns about politically motivated
prosecutions.

Neither the White House nor Ms. Willis’ office responded to a request for
comment about the House Judiciary probe involving Mr. Wade nor to a request for
clarification about the subject of his meetings with White House officials.

‘IMPROPER RELATIONSHIP’

Former Trump attorney Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the Fulton County case,
on Monday filed a motion in court alleging that Ms. Willis had an “improper”
relationship with Mr. Wade—and that she financially benefited from their alleged
relationship.

Mr. Roman alleged that Mr. Wade, who has played a key role in the case against
President Trump, paid for vacations with Ms. Willis while using Fulton County
funds that his private law firm had received.

The filing further states that Mr. Wade allegedly had a “lack of relevant
experience” although he was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the county.



Mr. Roman’s filing accuses Ms. Willis of having potentially committed “an act to
defraud the public of honest services” due to what he called an “intentional
failure” to disclose her alleged relationship with Mr. Wade, which she
“personally benefitted from.”

Records obtained by a local media outlet show that Mr. Wade has been paid over
$650,000 in legal fees since January 2022 and that the district attorney is the
one who authorizes it.

Mr. Roman’s filing alleges that checks sent to Mr. Wade from Fulton County and
vacations that he purchased with Ms. Willis could amount to honest services
fraud, which is a federal crime.

Revelations about the alleged relationship between Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis—which
have not been publicly denied by either of them—prompted Trump-ally Rep.
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to file a criminal misconduct complaint against
the pair.

“Georgians are sick and tired of Fani using her office to go after Joe Biden’s
top political opponent rather than going after real crime in Georgia,” the
lawmaker said in a post on X.

Ms. Willis’ office did not respond to a request for comment from The Epoch
Times, though a spokesperson for her office told media outlets that she would
“respond through appropriate court filings.”


‘TOTALLY COMPROMISED’

After the court filing suggested a romantic relationship between Mr. Wade and
Ms. Willis, President Trump called the case “totally compromised” and insisted
it should be dropped.

“You had a very big event yesterday as you saw in Georgia where the district
attorney is totally compromised. The case has to be dropped,” President Trump
said on Tuesday after a hearing in Washington over presidential immunity
arguments in a separate case against him.

“They went after 18 or 20 people. … She was out of her mind. Now it turns out
that case is totally compromised,” the former president continued.

“It’s illegal. What she did is illegal. So we’ll let the state handle that, but
what a sad situation it is,” President Trump added.

The former president has previously called the case a “witch hunt” and accused
Ms. Willis of corruption.

Mr. Roman, who faces seven charges in the Georgia election interference case,
served on President Trump’s 2020 campaign as director of Election Day
operations.

In a real twist of irony, it suddenly looks like Willis, Wade, Biden, Garland,
Smith, Mayorkas, and other Lawfare Democrats are ACTUALLY GUILTY of violating
Georgia’s RICO Act. Wow!

Corrupted people like Willis always make mistakes. They aren’t in these
positions of power because they’re smart. They’re chosen by people like Soros
because they’re NOT smart. That includes Obama and his puppets Biden and Harris.
