Lead Prosecutor in Georgia Election Fraud Case Accused of Filing for Divorce from Alleged Paramour
In a shocking turn of events, the lead prosecutor in the Georgia election fraud case against former President Donald Trump, Nathan Wade, has been accused of filing for divorce from his alleged paramour, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The accusation comes from Wade’s ex-wife, Joycelyn Wade, who claims that he filed for divorce just one day after being hired by Willis. According to court documents filed on Friday, Joycelyn alleges that Wade immediately moved to have records related to the breakup sealed by the court.
The timing of Nathan Wade’s divorce filing raises eyebrows, as it suggests a potential conflict of interest in his role as the lead prosecutor in the high-profile Trump case. Joycelyn’s attorney, Andrea Dyer Hastings, highlights this in her filing, stating, “Plaintiff [Nathan Wade] was appointed as a special prosecutor by Ms. Willis on November 1, 2021. Plaintiff filed for divorce on November 2, 2021.” The swift motion to seal the records further adds to the suspicion surrounding the situation.
These allegations have surfaced in the midst of another bombshell revelation made by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman. Roman claims that Nathan Wade and Fani Willis had an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship, which he argues should lead to the dismissal of criminal charges against him. Roman’s filing accuses Wade of using a portion of the hefty legal fees he received from the Fulton County DA’s Office for luxurious trips with Willis. It also raises concerns about Willis hiring Wade despite his alleged lack of qualifications and experience in handling criminal matters.
Joycelyn Wade’s filing sheds light on the financial implications of her ex-husband’s alleged affair. She claims that Nathan never disclosed his involvement in the Trump case or the amount of money he was making as a result. She also alleges that he left her with “little means of financial support” while spending extravagantly on trips to California, Florida, and the Caribbean with Willis. The filing includes bank records detailing Nathan Wade’s travel expenses, including significant spends at upscale hotels and cruise lines.
In response to these accusations, Willis’s legal team has filed a motion to prevent her from sitting for a deposition in the Wade divorce case. They argue that she cannot offer relevant testimony and claim that the Wades’ marriage was already over before she met Nathan. However, Joycelyn’s attorney disputes this, stating that her client only reconnected with an old friend through social media and that there was no physical affair. The alleged infidelity by Nathan Wade in their marriage, according to Hastings, led to a sense of disconnection for Joycelyn.
The ongoing controversy surrounding Nathan Wade and Fani Willis has caught the attention of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. They have launched an investigation into whether Willis misused county funds and accepted valuable gifts and personal benefits from Wade. The Atlanta DA has until February 2 to respond to these allegations.
As the Georgia election fraud case continues to unfold, the revelation of Nathan Wade’s divorce filing and the allegations of an affair with Fani Willis have added another layer of complexity to an already contentious legal battle. The implications for both the case and the individuals involved remain uncertain, but the public awaits further developments in this scandalous saga of power, politics, and personal relationships.
