Philandering Fani

Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has been a
lightning rod for controversy after allegations surfaced indicating
that she had an improper romantic relationship with one of the
prosecutors she placed on the election interference case against
former President Donald Trump.

Now Nathan Wade, Willis’ alleged lover, is facing an ethics
complaint filed by none other than Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-
GA). The lawmaker filed the complaint on Thursday alleging that he
had engaged in a series of ethical violations.

On Thursday morning, the firebrand conservative lawmaker filed a
complaint with Georgia's ethics commission against Nathan Wade, an
outside attorney whom Willis hired for the Trump case and allegedly
engaged in an inappropriate romantic relationship with, alleging
"potential serious violations" of state law over his purported
failure to register and file lobbyist paperwork disclosing "his
solicitation" of Willis and "excessive gifts" to the prosecutor.

"Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis stands credibly accused
of using Fulton County and federal COVID funds to pay her
unqualified, secret boyfriend Nathan Wade--who has never tried a
felony case–$250 per hour to collude with the Biden White House
counsel and help Fani Willis bring unprecedented RICO felony charges
against President Trump and 18 co-defendants," Greene wrote in the
complaint shared with Fox News Digital.

"Willis allegedly paid her secret boyfriend a significantly higher
hourly rate than another one of her special prosecutors who actually
has significant experience," she continued. "And with the nearly
$700,000 Wade has collected in government funds as one of Willis'
special prosecutors, he has allegedly taken her on a luxury
Caribbean cruise, a trip to Napa, and other lavish trips."

Greene argued that the Georgia Campaign Finance Act “requires that
lobbyists report their efforts to sway the discretion of lawmakers,
administrators, and district attorneys in the discharge of their
duties” and said that Wade’s law firm is a state vendor and
lobbyist. She noted that Wade did not register as a lobbyist and
file monthly spending reports over the past three years.

This is the latest development in the ongoing saga surrounding
Willis and Wade. Trump and one of his co-defendants have moved to
disqualify Willis from the prosecution against them.

Now, Trump’s team has joined in on an effort to disqualify Willis
from the case, a move that could impact the trajectory of the
prosecution against him.

In a court filing earlier this month, attorneys for Trump co-
defendant Mike Roman said, without offering specific corroborating
evidence, that Willis and the special prosecutor she hired to work
on the case "have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal
relationship."

Roman's motion alleges funds that the prosecutor, Nathan Wade,
earned through the case were being used to pay for lavish vacations,
but there is no evidence of these claims. The filing attributes the
allegations to unnamed "sources close to both the special prosecutor
and the district attorney."

In a six-page filing Thursday, the former president's Georgia legal
team adopted Roman's motion which claimed "that an improper intimate
personal relationship existed between Special Prosecutor Wade and
District Attorney (DA) Willis, that Wade has been paid over $650,000
by the DA, and that taxpayer monies were used by Wade to take the DA
on lavish vacations."

Willis' office is scheduled to respond to the allegations in a court
filing by Feb. 2.

The allegations are explosive as Trump’s team contends that the
alleged affair not only presents a serious conflict of interest but
also involves a misuse of public resources. If these claims are
substantiated, it could discredit the integrity of the prosecution
and potentially lead to a dismissal of charges against Trump and his
co-defendants.

Willis has not outright denied the allegations of the improper
relationship, but she has responded by claiming the revelations are
the result of racism. She also accused Wade’s wife of collaborating
with Trump’s team to discredit her.

The judge presiding over Trump’s election interference case has set
a February date for a hearing to look into the allegations against
Willis and Wade.
