House Committee Questions Nathan Wade on Relationship with Fani Willis

Former Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding his relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis, who is overseeing the prosecution of former President Trump. Wade's testimony, which lasted over four hours, was part of an inquiry into whether his personal relationship with Willis influenced the prosecution, which has been claimed by some GOP leaders to be politically motivated. Willis had instructed Wade not to discuss any details related to the ongoing investigation during his deposition. Wade, who resigned from the case after the relationship was revealed, stated that he believes the prosecution is based on the rule of law and that Trump could still face trial in Georgia even if he wins the 2024 election. The committee had difficulty serving Wade with a subpoena, and his subsequent appearance was seen as significant amidst claims of interference from Willis. Following the closed-door session, Wade's legal team emphasized their cooperation with the committee's inquiry.
