Another prosecutor says Nathan Wade did not tell the truth about when his relationship with Fani Willis started.
A special prosecutor, who was tasked with prosecuting former President Donald Trump, is accused of lying about when his romantic relationship began with the official who hired him, according to a witness who is prepared to testify in a filing entered on March 4.
Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, has claimed he and Ms. Willis did not start the relationship until after he was hired in late 2021.
But the relationship actually began in 2019, after Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis met at a legal conference, according to Cindi Lee Yeager, a co-chief deputy district attorney for the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, the new filing states.
According to the filing from David Shafer, a co-defendant of President Trump, Ms. Yeager is prepared to testify about the conversations she had with Terence Bradley, who is a divorce attorney for Mr. Wade.
On March 1, Ms. Yeager told lawyers for Mr. Shafer and another co-defendant that Mr. Bradley related in the discussions with her that Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis met in 2019 and that “Mr. Wade began his romantic relationship with District Attorney Willis at or around this time.”
The filing, also citing Mr. Bradley, stated that “Mr. Wade had definitively begun a romantic relationship with Ms. Willis during the time Ms. Willis was running for district attorney from 2019 to 2020.”
Ms. Willis, a Democrat, and Mr. Wade have acknowledged meeting at the 2019 conference but say they only exchanged contact details at the time. They say they spoke additional times in 2019 and moving forward, but that the relationship did not start until 2022. They also say the relationship ended in 2023.
Defendants in the case against President Trump and others have moved to disqualify both Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis over their relationship.
Mr. Bradley, who is also Mr. Wade’s former law partner, testified in the disqualification proceedings after phone data showed Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis exchanged 12,000 text messages and over 2,000 calls in 2021.
