Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis’ 2022 financial disclosure
makes no mention of a Miami getaway paid for by her alleged lover
Nathan Wade, documents show.
A private attorney, Wade was hired by Willis in late 2021 to oversee
the prosecution of former President Donald Trump and his co-
defendants over allegations they interfered in Georgia’s 2020
election.
In a section of the financial disclosure that asks the DA to
disclose gifts or favors valued over $100 from “prohibited sources,”
Willis answered, “None,” the Daily Caller reported Thursday.
On Oct. 4, 2022, Wade paid $477.21 for an American Airlines ticket
to Miami in Willis’ name, according to bank statements filed in a
Cobb County, Ga., court by his estranged wife, Jocelyn Wade, as part
of their divorce proceedings.
The Fulton County Code of Ethics deems that “prohibited sources”
include persons “doing business with the county,” such as Wade.
The plane ticket was purchased the same day Wade made a $2,600
payment to Royal Caribbean Cruises that cost $2,600, which Jocelyn’s
lawyers say was another personal trip for the prosecutor and Willis.
Wade also paid an additional $3,835 to a travel agency, Vacation
Express, the following day.
None of Wade’s expenditures are listed in Willis’ ethics disclosure.
“This needs explaining,” Georgia-based criminal defense attorney and
legal analyst Phil Holloway said in an X post sharing Willis’
disclosure form.

Wade paid for a $477 plane ticket in Willis’ name in October 2022.
Fulton County imposes penalties which include up to a $1000 fine, a
public reprimand and a recommendation to the board of commissioners
for additional disciplinary action for individuals that commit an
“intentional violation” of the code of ethics, such as “furnishing
of false or misleading information to the board of ethics.”
Allegations of a romance between Wade and Willis surfaced when Trump
co-defendant Michael Roman asked to have the criminal charges
against him dismissed on the grounds of an “improper” and
“clandestine” relationship between the special prosecutor and the
DA.
Wade filed for divorce on Nov. 1, 2021, one day after he was hired
by Willis.
The special prosecutor has collected nearly $654,000 in legal fees
since 2022 from the Fulton County DA’s Office for his work on the
Trump case.
Last week, the head of the Fulton County Board of Commissioner’s
audit committee, Bob Ellis, demanded that Willis provide information
related to her appointment of Wade as part of a probe into the
potential “misuse” of taxpayer funds.
The Fulton County DA’s office did not respond to The Post’s request
for comment.

Filing a false document in Georgia is a felony- so when’s the
indictment?

The lies keep wracking up. I hope Wade enjoyed the motor boating.
It’s going to be very expensive.
