The controversy surrounding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis continues to intensify.
Speaking at a church, Willis did not deny the allegations, acknowledging her imperfections and attributing the accusations to racism.
In addition to this controversy, Willis is also embroiled in a dispute with Wade's wife. As previously reported, Wade's wife issued a subpoena for Willis to testify in the couple's divorce proceedings. Willis responded by filing a motion to quash the subpoena, arguing that she was being harassed by the aggrieved wife. She further claimed that since the couple's marriage was irretrievably broken, a fact not in dispute, there was no need for her deposition.
In a surprising twist, Willis alleged that Jocelyn Wade, the wife, was colluding with parties involved in the election interference case. Willis also insinuated that Jocelyn Wade had been unfaithful to her husband in the past.
However, Jocelyn Wade was not deterred by these allegations and responded with evidence of her own. As Ed Morrisey of our sister site Hot Air noted, Willis had made a "big mistake." Jocelyn Wade had proof and was not hesitant to reveal it.
Bank records indicate that special prosecutor Nathan Wade purchased airline tickets for himself and Fani Willis for trips to San Francisco and Miami, according to a court motion filed on Friday. The motion was filed on behalf of Jocelyn Wade in her divorce case with Nathan Wade in Cobb County Superior Court. The credit card statements included in the filing seem to support allegations of a romantic relationship between Nathan Wade and Willis. These trips occurred in 2022 and 2023, after Willis had appointed Wade as special prosecutor in the investigation of election subversion by Donald Trump and his allies.
Jocelyn Wade's attorneys attached records from Nathan Wade's Capital One bank account to the filing. These records showed that he purchased $817.80 tickets for himself and Willis on April 25, 2023, to fly to San Francisco. Records also showed subsequent purchases at the DoubleTree hotel in Napa Valley. Additionally, there were purchases of $477.21 plane tickets in both their names to Miami on Oct. 5, 2022. Clara Bowman, believed to be Wades mother, accompanied them, records showed. Accompanying purchases from Royal Caribbean Cruises totaled more than $2,600.
The day after booking flights to Miami and the Royal Caribbean cruise, Wade spent approximately $3,800 with Vacation Express, a company that offers vacation packages and tours, the records show.
Jocelyn Wade alleges that her husband failed to inform her about the income he was receiving as a result of his appointment by Willis. Her attorneys clarified that they were not seeking this information to harass Willis but to determine how much money he was earning and spending on his "paramour" (their term) so they could accurately assess the marital estate and determine the amount of spousal support he should be paying.
It appears that Willis's attempt to discredit the aggrieved wife with accusations of collusion and harassment may have backfired.
