Fani Willis, Georgia’s Fulton county district attorney who brought
election interference charges against Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants,
has been subpoenaed in a divorce case involving a special prosecutor she
hired in the Trump case.

A process server delivered the subpoena to Willis’s office on Monday,
according to a court filing reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, which
first reported the subpoena. The subpoena requests Willis to testify in
the divorce case involving her top prosecutor Nathan Wade and his wife
Joycelyn Wade.

The Wades filed for divorce in Cobb county, just outside Atlanta, in
November 2021, according to a county court docket. The filings in the case
have been sealed since February 2022.

Earlier this week, Mike Roman, a former Trump campaign official and co- defendant in the election interference case who is facing seven criminal charges, filed a motion accusing Willis and Nathan Wade of an “improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case”. The
filing offered no proof of the relationship or of any wrongdoing.

The motion claimed that the alleged relationship between Willis and Nathan
Wade resulted in “the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district
attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of
the taxpayers”.

“Willis has benefited substantially and directly, and continues to
benefit, from this litigation because Wade is being paid hundreds of
thousands of dollars to prosecute this case on her behalf,” the motion
states.

“He will continue to be incentivized to prosecute this case based on his personal and financial motives, so he has acquired a unique and personal interest or stake in Mr Roman’s continued prosecution. That is, he is
motivated to prosecute Mr Roman for as long as possible because he will continue to make exorbitant sums of money,” the motion added.

According to county records reviewed by the Hill, Nathan Wade was paid
nearly $654,000 in legal fees in 2022 and 2023 as he worked on the
election interference case.

The motion further claimed – without evidence – that Willis and Nathan
Wade traveled together to vacation destinations including Florida, Napa
Valley and the Caribbean.

The Guardian has contacted Willis and Nathan Wade for comment. Neither
have yet spoken publicly on the subpoena.
