Georgia DA Fani Willis accused of paying prosecutor in Trump case less than alleged squeeze Nathan Wade
|
[NYPost] Because he's White?
Under fire Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis stands accused of paying one of her special prosecutors $100 less per hour than her less-qualified alleged lover Nathan Wade.
Court records show Wade billing the Fulton District Attorney’s office $250 per hour for his work prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 others on state racekteering charges over 2020 election interference in November and December 2021, despite having no experience in that area of law.
Meanwhile John Floyd — regarded the state’s foremost expert on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) cases — was only billing $150 an hour in those same months, according to a contract obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The revelation comes a day after Willis — accused last week of having a “clandestine” personal relationship with Wade in papers asking for them both to be dismissed from the case — said she treated all three special prosecutors she hired equally.
Speaking at a local church service Sunday, she said: “I appointed three special counsels, as is my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate.”
The third special prosecutor, Anna Cross, was being paid $250 per hour in 2022, according to the Daily Caller, which also notes agreements made between Fulton County and Floyd after April 2022 may have been at a higher rate, but weren’t immediately available. Calls to Willis’ office Monday said it was closed for the government holiday.
A representative for Floyd’s office declined to comment, but pointed out all three lawyers had joined the case at different times and brought different areas of expertise to the case.
Willis went on to accuse her detractors of racism, saying they had singled out Wade as the only the black prosecutor she hired.
Speaking at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta on Sunday, she said: “I hired one black man, another superstar, a great friend and a great lawyer … First thing they say: ‘oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.”
“But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one?”
