| Trump prosecutor Fani Willis faces hearing on misconduct claims, tries to weasel out of grilling by alleged lover's ex-wife |
| 2024-01-19 |
| [NY Post] I think she's having a bad week, and her The judge overseeing the Georgia election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has called a hearing over accusations that District Attorney Fani Willis and her lead prosecutor had an inappropriate relationship. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 — and set a deadline for Willis to respond to allegations by Feb. 2 that she had an inappropriate relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, according to a brief order from Thursday. On the same day, her legal team also made a filing in the divorce case of the prosecutor, Nathan Wade, where she attempted to get out of sitting for a grilling by his ex-wife, who has been seeking to depose Willis. Roman, who served as Trump’s director of Election Day operations in 2020, called for the judge to disqualify the entire prosecution team because of the alleged affair. He also accused Wade — a private attorney with the Atlanta-based Wade & Campbell Firm — of using some of the nearly $654,000 in legal fees he collected from the Fulton County DA’s Office for his work on the Trump case to take Willis on vacations to "California, Florida and the Caribbean." Willis’ lawyers also made a filing in the divorce case between Wade and his estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade, which has been ongoing since 2021. Willis asked a judge to quash the subpoena for her testimony claiming the Wades’ marriage was "irretrievably broken" as early as 2017 — before she and Nathan ever met — and "after Joycelyn confessed to an adulterous relationship with [Nathan’s] longtime friend," the filing claims. "There is no information that District Attorney Willis could provide that might prove relevant to granting or denying the divorce," allege the court documents filed by Willis’ lawyer Cinque Axam. Apparently, not the Cinque in the Symbionese Liberation Army. He daid. Joycelyn’s bid to depose Willis — which was filed the same day Roman filed the affair allegations as part of his effort to get out of criminal charges — is only meant to harass Willis and "damage her professional reputation," Axam wrote. The lawyer even went as far as to allege Joycelyn had "conspired with interested parties in the criminal election interference case" to "coordinate" filing court papers in the two cases, all to try to embarrass Willis, in the filing. Joycelyn’s actions are "obstructing and interfering" with the criminal matter and the deposition would be "overburdensome" for the DA, the filing claims. Willis’ lawyer notably chose not to address whether Willis and Wade’s relationship occurred, and if they are indeed still together. In a speech at Big Bethel AME Church on Sunday, Willis called Wade "a great friend and a great lawyer" along with a "superstar," but failed to mention him by name. She also suggested the accusations against Wade were race-related.
